Ubisoft Accidentally Showed Ads Inside Assassin’s Creed And Then This Happened.. – News18

Ubisoft has been making the Assassin’s Creed video games for greater than a decade, and whereas the sequence has had its ups and downs, it has developed a cult following of avid gamers for its stealth-based gameplay and historic settings. However, followers had been just lately left pissed off when Ubisoft by chance confirmed in-game advertisements inside Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, its flagship motion role-playing title from 2018.

This affected the gameplay expertise, and these advertisements, as reported by a plethora of customers, confirmed up in the course of the gameplay as “pop-ups.” Since then, Ubisoft has acknowledged this error and dismissed it as a ‘technical issue.’

“We have been made aware that some players encountered a pop-up message in-game while playing certain Assassin’s Creed titles yesterday. This was the result of a technical error that has now been fixed,” Ubisoft mentioned within the official assertion on X, previously generally known as Twitter.

The firm added: “Our intention was to display a promotion for Assassin’s Creed Mirage as part of the franchise news in the main menu of other Assassin’s Creed games.” And that these pop-ups had been eliminated as quickly as they had been found.

However, avid gamers on X had been fast to name Ubisoft out for the assertion. A person who goes by the username @Thraxis mentioned, “Yeah, maybe don’t show ads in your games at all—don’t even put that functionality in them. We don’t need you advertising your other games in the games we’ve already given you money for—you have PLENTY of other places you can advertise to us that aren’t as intrusive.”

Many others have since then claimed that it was intentional on Ubisoft’s finish.
