Ubisoft has reassured fans concerned over listings for Assassin's Creed Mirage which stated it would include "Real Gambling", as part of "Adults Only" and "18+" ratings for the title. At the time of writing, a US Xbox store listing still warns that Mirage contains "Intense Violence, Blood and Gore, Sexual Themes, Partial Nudity, Real Gambling", and lists it as having received the rare Adults Only 18+ label from the ESRB, the US' ratings board. A UK listing similarly mentions "Real Gambling", alongside "Extreme Violence", and lists it with a PEGI 18+ rating.

So why AO?
Do like the ‘no’ loot box part!

 

[zkorejo]

What confusion.. Lootboxes is real gambling.

The AO was a mistake. To be clear, it was an error in the listing.

*at launch

So why AO?

They say rating is still pending.
So the whole thing about it being AO is not true

Everyone is invited to come over on launch day to play AC: Mirage in their pants at my house, we'll make our own X-Rated AC game.

Zebras are invited too.

Surely GAF has learnt something here?

That is... perhaps don't jump to conclusions till both sides of the story has been presented.

(And the read the bloody article!)

No. There are no loot boxes. Hardly makes sense to put them in a 20 hour game. .... Unless they lock platinum behind some MTX BS.

Lol you would think after similar situations in the past as well.... but no one learned anything

 

[Haint]

Sounds more like they submitted an obfuscated real money gambling mechanic to rating boards they thought they could slip by in a gray area, were hit with an AO, and are now backpeddling and removing it.

Ubisoft started selling XP boosts a month after Valhalla came out, and Odyssey was a grind for the first 3 months to sell them as well, then rebalanced the level scaling, i don't believe a word they say anymore, they could add it at anytime, and probably will.
