Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s Epic Mercenary Events Aren’t Going Well
Following numerous failed attempts at Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s Epic Mercenary Events, Ubisoft is temporarily removing them until they work out the kinks.
“Two weeks ago, when we attempted to launch the first Epic Mercenary Event with Damais the Indifferent, we discovered that the content didn’t properly appear for a majority of our players,” Ubisoft said. “It wasn’t satisfactory to have an event available to only a portion of our players, so we decided to temporarily remove the Epic Mercenary Events from the game altogether until the issue is resolved.”
As of now, the Epic Mercenary Event has been canceled twice: once on October 17 and again on October 30. The events were designed to be contracts against difficult enemies that “rotate weekly” with Epic Ship events, which have been a success so far.
Ubisoft says that they are hoping to fix the Mercenary Events by “later this month.” Until then, they said “we will activate 1x Epic Ship Event each week moving forward. And as a thank you for your patience and understanding, we will be activating a discount of -80 Orichalcum for the Legendary item that Sargon (Oikos of the Olympians) will sell next week.”
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
