Assassin’s Creed: Ezio Collection includes the second game in the series as well as Brotherhood and Revelations, with all three remastered using updated technology. As with any process, a few mistakes are bound to slip in and the weird-looking henchman became Internet famous for a while. Ubisoft itself seems to have a sense of humor about the whole thing, though, as the patch notes mention that the developers fixed “a weird NPC face.” Check out how “weird” it is in the video below:

At the time the video came out, however, Ubisoft appeared less amused at the attention Bug-Eyes was getting: “The NPC in question only appears in Sequence 1, Memory 1 in Assassin’s Creed 2 and is randomly generated, appearing infrequently,” a spokesperson told Eurogamer.
The massive attention for Ubisoft’s bug could be simply because fans have little else to talk about this year after the publisher made clear there would be no Assassin’s Creed game in 2016. Currently, the next game in the series is still a rumor, except for the news three months ago that the new Assassin’s Creed would be delayed until 2017 in order to make sure the next installment lives up to the highest standards.
All Assassin’s Creed fans can do right now to get their fix is wait for the movie to come out next week, which its brand manager assures us will be a “milestone” in film making and not a disaster like most video-game films. The cast, featuring stalwarts like Michael Fassbender and Jeremy Irons, will at least will be something to look forward to, while Macbeth director Justin Kurzel hopefully will be able to inject some Shakespeare into the story of the Assassins and the Templars.
Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection is now available on PS4 and Xbox One.
