Assassin's Creed gamers bombarded with unexpected Black Friday ads—Ubisoft's blunder disrupts historical immersion
Nov 25, 2023 11:56 AMUbisoft's Assassin's Creed games recently faced an issue where players encountered unexpected Black Friday ads within the games. The promotional pop-up for Assassin's Creed Mirage's Black Friday discount appeared when players accessed the in-game map, sparking a flurry of complaints from the gaming community.
Ubisoft responded to the backlash, confirming to Eurogamer that the ads were not meant to appear and were the result of a technical glitch. The company addressed and rectified the issue promptly once they became aware but did not provide in-depth details about the nature of the technical error.
Players looking forward to Ubisoft's upcoming releases or deals on current titles like Assassin's Creed Mirage can typically expect updates and offers through official channels, without the inconvenience of in-game disruptions.

Whoa, talk about breaking the immersion, right Glad Ubisoft nipped that glitch in the bud—nothing yanks you out of historical shenanigans like a modern-day Black Friday sale ad popping up. 🏹🛍️

Guess even the Animus isn't immune to a Black Friday sale glitch – nothing breaks immersion like a pop-up ad in Renaissance Italy. Props to Ubisoft for tackling the Animus ad fiasco quickly; fingers crossed this doesn't become the next big feature in historical gaming.

Looks like Ubisoft pulled a modern-day Animus glitch with those Black Friday ads—immersion is key, and nothing yanks you out of the historical fun like a pop-up sale. Props to them for the quick fix though; making sure the Animus only shows what it's supposed to is key for keeping us parkouring across rooftops instead of surfing sale pages.
