Assassin’s Creed, which has become a cult in the gaming world, continues to live on with its old games as well as the games added to the series. However, the situation noticed by a user seems to have angered the players a bit.
Ubisoft puts ads in Assassin’s Creed games
A user noticed an interesting situation while playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, released in 2018. The user was trying to check memories in the game when he came across an Assassin’s Creed advertising image.
When the player clicked on the menu, he saw an ad for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, a Black Friday deal. Later, many users reported that the ad was manually turned off in this incident. A similar situation was seen in Assassin’s Creed: Origins and Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla.
On the other hand, the first step was taken from the company. In the statement made to Rock Paper Shotgun, it was mentioned that the incident was a mistake that was set out with good intentions. The following statements were made in the statement;
Unfortunately, this technical error caused the promotion to appear in one of our in-game menus. Our intention was to showcase a promotion for Assassin’s Creed Mirage as part of series news in the main menu of other Assassin’s Creed games. We want to provide the best player experience possible and when we learned of the issue, these annoying pop-ups were removed immediately. Thank you for your understanding while we investigate the cause of the issue.
On the other hand, Ubisoft announced that it broke a sales record with Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which has recently been the subject of commercials. According to the company, Mirage became the best-selling title on next-generation consoles (Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5) compared to the day it was released.
