Ubisoft got here beneath criticism for its implementation of comparable microtransactions in the latest primary sequence entry to the Assassin’s Creed franchise: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
Some critics felt that Odyssey’s development methods had been intentionally slowed right down to encourage gamers to purchase XP, cash, and useful resource boosters from the real-money Helix Credits retailer.
The relationship between money and time spent is extra obvious in Rebellion although, the place you’ll be able to plainly pay a charge to cut back countdown timers.
The game itself is a mixture between a party-based RPG and a Fallout Shelter-esque administration sim that includes fan-favourite heroes and supporting characters from a lot of the Assassin’s Creed games. You construct up your Brotherhood’s hideout with completely different rooms, and degree up your characters – who’ve completely different stats and skills – to greatest equip them for story and aspect missions.
You gather new characters by opening “DNA Cubes” which might be earned in-game or bought utilizing Helix Credits. Before you absolutely unlock a personality it is advisable to open sufficient of their DNA Fragments, which vary from 10 for frequent characters to 25 for legendary ones like Ezio and Kassandra.
You get three drops from every Cube, the place you’ll be able to both get between 4-6 DNA Fragments of a hero, or a small probability on the full hero. So that implies that each dice accommodates at the least 12 DNA fragments.
The third drop in a dice is assured to be epic or legendary, however the probability of getting a full legendary hero from every drop in a single Cube is constantly 0.18%.
Ubisoft has launched the total odds for DNA Cubes:
A single DNA Cube prices 200 Helix, which roughly equates to £2.00 since 500 Helix Credits prices £4.99.
It additionally looks like Ubisoft might be utilizing a sort of dynamic pricing, since you’ll be able to comply with “personalized discounts” as a part of the game’s EULA.
It’s not apparent precisely how deep these reductions are, or the place and the way usually they seem, however we’ve reached out to Ubisoft for clarification.
Microtransactions have been making information in different games lately too, with PUBG charging $25 for a Suicide Squad Harley Quinn skin, and laminate flooring in Fallout 76 costing nearly as much in Atoms as it does by the square meter IRL.
