Ubisoft has made clear that an Adults Only 18+ rating that was presented ahead of Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s reveal was a mistake. The game will definitely not feature gambling or lootboxes, which were suggested by the rating.
In a statement made to IGN, an Ubisoft spokesperson said the game hasn’t yet been rated and that any reference to an Adults Only 18+ rating – which apparently meant the inclusion of intense violence, blood and gore, sexual themes, partial nudity, and real gambling – was a mistake.
“Following the announcement of Assassin’s Creed Mirage during Ubisoft Forward, some store pages mistakenly displayed the game for preorders with an Adults Only ESRB rating,” said the Ubisoft spokesperson.
