Assassin's Creed: Unity har fået på puklen siden det udkom, ikke bare for sine mange tekniske fejl, men også for det faktum at embargoen på anmeldelser først blev hævet 12 timer efter spillet var udkommet i USA.
Men det kommer ikke til at ske igen, siger udgiveren til BBC. Ubisoft vil tage et grundigt kig på deres anmeldelses- og embargopolitik, og gøre den mere forbrugervenlig fremover, lyder det:
"We are working to adapt our services and communications with consumers accordingly, both by changing the way we work with reviewers and by offering customers open betas or other early access to some games, all so that they have the information they need and want," siger en talsperson.
Ubisoft forklarer i øvrigt den scene embargo med spillets mange onlinesystemer, og nødvendigheden i at de er tilgængelige, før man kan danne sig et komplet indtryk:
"The nature of games themselves and the way they are being reviewed is changing, as evidenced by games like Assassin's Creed Unity, Destiny and The Crew - games that have significant online components.
"Having the online elements available and having populated worlds is essential to creating a representative and complete experience for reviewers.
"Achieving this prior to launch is incredibly complex, which is why some games are being reviewed much closer - or as was the case with Destiny, even after - the game launches."
