Again ? They did the same with the next AC release date and the metro bombing in Tokyo.

18 000 employees and not one to run a "check dates on google" department?

As much as I dislike Ubisoft, it's nitpicky as hell.

The Year only has 365 days. Billions of people have inhabited the planet and screwed over each other for thousands of years in various terrible ways. Add in shitty natural causes like plagues and such, And well...

Good luck finding a date something shitty didn't happen.

I agree but it’s also a heavily scrutinized company with money and tons of employees.

They often get roasted for various reasons and they know it, so it’s not that hard to cross check our recent past, specially with that number of employees across the world.

People won’t say shit if the date is from the death of Billy the bitch of Moncuq in 869.

But checking the last century is not that hard of a job when you spend billions in marketing and salaries. If you want to avoid the same trouble you always have with your PR of course, unless you consider bad publicity is publicity
