Assassin\u2019s Creed players concerned by \u201cReal Gambling\u201d mention in Mirage reveal UbisoftAmid the reveal of Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage at Ubisoft Forward, players are concerned as they have spotted the mention of \u201cReal Gambling\u201d within the game\u2019s age rating. During the Ubisoft Forward presentation on September 10, five new games were revealed to be coming from the long-running open-world franchise. Games such as Codename Hexe and Codename Jade will be set in the 16th Century and Ancient China in 215 BCE respectively. Codename Red will finally take the franchise to Japan, while next year\u2019s Assassin\u2019s Creed: Mirage will reunite players with Basim Ibn Ishaq. Though hype for Mirage is aimed towards its return to the franchise\u2019s roots, players have expressed their worries about the game, as mentions of \u201cReal Gambling\u201d have been noticed in its 18+ ESRB rating. Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage reportedly features \u201cReal Gambling\u201d ResetEra users modiz and deanna_beanna brought to light the reasons for Mirage\u2019s classification on the Xbox Store, which are listed as the following: \u201cIntense Violence, Blood and Gore, Sexual Themes, Partial Nudity, Real Gambling.\u201d Modiz explained that \u201cthe AO rating seems to come from the Real Gambling warning, which is defined by the ESRB as \u2018Player can gamble, including betting or wagering real cash or currency\u2019.\u201d The ResetEra user continued, adding \u201cas opposed to Simulated Gambling which is defined by \u2018Player can gamble without betting or wagering real cash or currency\u2019.\u201d \u201cIt is likely that this rating is a provisional one of what the publisher expects the game to be rated as, but I don\u2019t think I have even heard of an AO rated game in many years,\u201d added modiz. Some players were unsure whether gambling was mentioned in Mirage\u2019s reveal, but deanna_beanna confirmed this was the case: \u201cYou are right\u2026the logo shows up at the beginning of the Ubisoft showcase at 14:36. Doesn\u2019t seem like it was a mistake after all.\u201d Assassin\u2019s Creed player have shared their thoughts on the matter, which Twitter user @LumpyTheCook saying \u201cI actually felt excitement for an Assassin\u2019s Creed game for a brief moment before realizing this rating is because of loot boxes (real gambling) instead of anything cool.\u201d Another user, @evilpostmaker, echoed this sentiment too: \u201cAlways interesting watching Ubisoft launch a new Assassin\u2019s Creed game\u2026how are they going to f*** it up this time, ah real world gambling, of course.\u201d It remains to be seen how gambling will be implemented in Assassin\u2019s Creed: Mirage, as the game is touted to release in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
