Following some harsh criticisms for their post-launch embargo time for Assassin's Creed Unity, Ubisoft is going to re-evaluate how they handle reviews in the future.

A spokesperson from Ubisoft issued a statement to the BBC about these post-release embargo times and how embargoes will be handled going forward.
"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.

"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."

More public betas? A revised embargo time that isn't completely insane? Those sound like good starts. Next thing you know they'll listen to customers when they say they don't want to use Uplay any more.
