(PressFire.no): It was on Reddit that user triddell24 posted a video from “Assassin’s Creed Odyssey” that showed him getting his screen covered in ads when trying to enter the in-game map.
Just got an in-game advertisement when I tried to go to the map

To continue playing, he had to push away the advertisement.
The reactions were generally very negative, with several throwing their fists at what they saw as an attempt to squeeze advertising into games they had already paid for.
On Twitter, Ubisoft writes that it was not intended that the advertisements should appear in the game itself, but that they were rather intended for the main menu before you start.
– This was due to a technical error which has now been corrected.
– The intention was to show an advertisement for “Assassin’s Creed Mirage” under the series news in the main menus of other “Assassin’s Creed” games. Unfortunately, the error caused the advertisement to appear in one of our in-game menus instead.
The company further writes that they have removed the advertisements now, and that they are working to find out what went wrong to begin with.
Ubisoft seems to be a bit forgetful here, for the same mistake also appeared in “Assassin’s Creed Odyssey” in 2019. Even then, it was dismissed as a bug that “has been fixed”.
