Assassin’s Creed: Unity will include microtransactions, Ubisoft has revealed.
While Ubisoft has not provided detail on how the system will work, it seems that players will be able to pay to unlock gear, rather than working to unlock it in-game.
“There’s a couple of things like that we’ll always have to be on the lookout for,” Assassin’s Creed: Unity senior producer Vincent Pontbriand told OXM in reference to the growth of microtransactions.
“Companion apps, monetisation, other business models, digital only… We have to be reactive to these things, but not necessarily fundamentally change what we’re trying to do,” Pontbriand continued.
“It depends. If we think it fits the gameplay, or the brand itself, the core values, we’re willing to take those risks. If not, then no. We’re not going to make any compromises.”
