As social network users have noticed, March 20, 2025 marks a sad anniversary for Japan – 30 years since the sarin terrorist attack on the Tokyo subway, which claimed the lives of 13 people (about 6 thousand more were injured).

Users joke that Ubisoft is probably already deliberately stepping on the same rake. “You can’t come up with something like this on purpose. I wouldn’t believe it if it weren’t for Ubisoft,” realdariusdt never ceases to be amazed.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition will also be released on March 20, but only Ubisoft is criticized for choosing the date (image source: Ubisoft)

It is worth noting that the tragedy of 1995 has not yet prevented developers (including Japanese ones) from releasing their games on March 20th. On this day, for example, Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing: New Horizons were released.
