Ubisoft Admits Assassin's Creed In-Game Black Friday Ads Were a 'Technical Error'
Ubisoft claims that in-game advertisements for their Black Friday sales in older Assassin's Creed games were a "technical error" and not intentional. Players encountered pop-up ads for Assassin's Creed Mirage, which was 20% off, while trying to open the map in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Ubisoft stated that the issue was addressed as soon as they learned of it, but did not explain how the technical error occurred. Assassin's Creed Mirage is a smaller-scale entry in the series that focuses on slower-paced, stealth-based gameplay.
