Tom Clancy’s The Division 2
Ubisoft’sThe Division 2has had another mishap with prowess in the biz . While the last piece acknowledge by the community appeared to leak out the location of thenextAssassin ’s Creedgame , the latest gimmick or else contains a homophobic slur . There ’s since been a Ubisoft excuse issued , and the content has been removed , but there has n’t been any comment about how it got into the biz in the first place .
The slur in question that Ubisoft has since had to transfer from the game is in reality an image of a policeman feed a sinker .

As reported byPC Gamer , the Ubisoft apology has come to not a whole deal more than a note that the homophobic slur had slipped through the ship’s company ’s content review process . The studio mentioned that the cognitive content was sickening and that they had " removed the image from the biz via a patch on Thursday , April 11" . However , there was no information ply by Ubisoft about how the design was approved and how it really made it to the final variant of the game . Here ’s the full instruction from Ubisoft :
" It ’s been brought to our attention that a piece of street art in Tom Clancy ’s The Division 2 incorporate dysphemistic mental object . We remove the image from the plot via a plot on Thursday , April 11 . We apologize that this image slipped through our depicted object review processes , and we are currently refresh them for avoid this form of superintendence from occurring in the future tense . "
While the breach look-alike is arguably difficult to notice in the plot , the fact stay that it was still there and that someone at Ubisoft likely had to sign off on the comprehension of the asset inTheDivision 2 . It ’s a small piece of art which is highly stylize , but that does n’t detract from the distinctly offensive nature of the content . There has been some public debate floating around the internet about whether or not remove the offending image is equivalent to censorship , but that conversation seems to ignore the larger reality of the political electronic messaging that is prevalent within the game as a whole .
The Ubisoft apology was undoubtedly a necessary PR move in the wake of the nature of the slur , but it ’s also interesting to note that the company mention that it would be reviewing its content curation work on to stave off mishap like this in the future . The community has yet to nail other instances of problematic content within the game after itsrecent patch , but it ’s potential that Ubisoft is going to be on high alert for this for the foreseeable future .
