Assassin’s Creed Mirage is still at the heart of a small controversy, but this time, Ubisoft speaks directly to reassure players.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage will he reconcile the fans of the first hour with the emblematic saga? By promising that the game will return to what was the strength of the initial episodes, Ubisoft has turned all the spotlight on the game. Basim’s adventure in Baghdad has already revealed itself to players through various trailers and a few rumors. But what most worries the public are the game’s microtransactions, which have been making a lot of noise for several weeks. Ubisoft wants to reassure players on this point.
Ubisoft defuses the false controversy
A few days ago, the USK, the German classification body, set things on fire with funny mentions concerning Assassin’s Creed Mirage. The game will be banned for those under 16 in Germany, the description indicating that microtransactions would be included. Further on it read ” that these are often additional items such as “bonus levels”, “skins” […] as well as subscriptions and upgrades (for example, to disable advertising) “. It is this very last part, which evokes microtransactions to remove ads, which had surprisingly raised the hair of the players. Yes, some really thought there would be. Ubisoft decided to put out the fire before it got too big. On Discord, a member of the studio wanted to restore the truth about the economic model ofAssassin’s Creed Mirage.
The game does not include a dedicated subscription model, and does not feature any form of advertising beyond traditional in-game news offering information about Assassin’s Creed Mirage and the AC franchise.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage highly anticipated
Anyway, when we look closely at the description made by the USK, we understand that the mention of purchases to disable advertising is one example among many others of microtransactions that can be found in the video games, and not of what will integrate Mirage. Ubisoft will soon communicate on the additional content that players will be able to recover by investing real money, which will be bundles including cosmetic items. Classic microtransactions for the license therefore.
Fortunately, Assassin’s Creed Mirage is also in the news for much more down-to-earth reasons, such as the game’s lifespan, which is already dividing the public. We also know that players will be able to customize the color of Basim’s costumes, as announced by Ubisoft in a presentation on YouTube. Remember that the title will be released on October 12 coming soon to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, a date that fans have surely checked off their calendars. In the meantime, players will be able to (re)discover some of the most emblematic episodes. Five Assassin’s Creed games are indeed playable for free this weekend.
