Ubisoft blames Assassin's Creed in-game Black Friday pop-up ads on technical error

Ubisoft has said that pop-up adverts seen last night within Assassin’s Creed games have now been disabled, and were the result of a technical error.

“We have been made aware that some players encountered pop-up ads while playing certain Assassin’s Creed titles yesterday,” a Ubisoft spokesperson said.

“A fascinating new city and the embrace of a classic formula,” Christian Donlan wrote in Eurogamer’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage review.
