For current players of the title who might be worried they will encounter the same glitch, angry gamers are reporting that the glitch happens when you leave "the Animus as Desmond Miles and explore Monteriggioni in the game’s year 2012. It appears that after a player does this he or she is then unable to have his or her character return to the Animus, which essentially traps them in the game’s year 2012 and stops all further player progress," says GR.
For some gamers, they managed to avoid the glitch by not saving the game, at all, while in the year 2012. A few others turned on the subtitles and averted breaking their game. For some gamers, neither "fix" worked.
Ubisoft, the company behind the blockbuster game has yet to comment, living up to their growing reputation in the gaming community of being "anti-consumer."
As of writing, Ubisoft has not provided a timetable, but it is clear that a patch will be needed.
