Ubisoft confirms real gambling in Assassin s Creed Mirage s ESRB listing was an error

Fans got to know about the game's rating from the US Xbox Store listing for Assassin's Creed Mirage, which warned that the game contains "Intense Violence, Blood and Gore, S*xual Themes, Partial Nudity, and Real Gambling." The latter particularly stuck out as a sore thumb to most fans who are looking forward to the upcoming title. However, it turns out that the listings were the result of an error since the game is yet to be rated, according to Ubisoft. Players were hoping Mirage would turn the tides of Ubisoft's monetization practices, but were let down by the game's erroneous rating.

These have become really aggressive in the last few titles, with the inclusion of XP boosters and post-launch armor sets locked behind a paywall. Although Ubisoft was quick to address the issue, it remains to be seen how much of it remains true, come the game's eventual release sometime in 2023.
