Ubisoft
has announced that The Hidden Ones, the first downloadable content (DLC) for Assassin’s Creed® Origins, will launch on January 24, 2018 on all platforms. Ubisoft also
revealed release dates for upcoming Assassin’s Creed®
Origins post-launch content, including season pass content and free
add-on content available to all players. Players can continue their
journey through Ancient Egypt with a wide variety
of content including several hours of new storyline expansions and
quests, timed events and customization items.
DLC 1 - The Hidden Ones:
This story-driven expansion builds upon the growth of the Brotherhood,
taking players four years after the events of Assassin’s Creed Origins
as they clash with an occupying Roman force in a new region of the
world, the Sinai. This expansion will increase
the level cap to 45, allowing players to continue to upgrade and
customize their character. Players will have access to four new
legendary weapons, a new outfit, two new mounts and multiple new weapons
as well as two new levels for all crafted gear. The Hidden
Ones DLC is available for all season pass owners or can be purchased
separately for $13.95AUD on January 23, 2018.
Discovery Tour by Assassin’s Creed: Ancient Egypt:
This
new educational mode of the game lets everyone, from players to
history-enthusiasts and non-gamers, choose between free roaming the
beautiful world of Ancient
Egypt to learn more about its history and daily life or embarking on
guided tours curated by historians and Egyptologists. People can
discover and explore a world free of conflict, time pressure or gameplay
constraints, where storyline and quests are not active
and the world of Ancient Egypt evolves into a combat-free living
museum.
Discovery Tour will be available as a free update for all Assassin’s Creed Origins owners and will be available
for purchase separately for $29.95 on Uplay and Steam for Windows PC on February 20, 2018.
DLC 2 - The Curse of the Pharaohs:
This
new expansion offers players a completely new storyline to delve into
as they travel to Thebes to investigate an ancient curse that is
plaguing the region.
The Curse of the Pharaohs focuses on Egyptian mythology, pitting
players against famous pharaohs and Egyptian beasts as they investigate
the cause of the curse that has brought the dead pharaohs back to life.
This new piece of content will increase the level
cap to 55 and
give players access to new outfits and gear, including rare and legendary weapons, all themed around classic Egyptian mythology.
The Curse of the Pharaohs DLC will be available for season pass owners
or can be purchased separately for $29.95AUD on March 6, 2018.
The
season pass is included in the Assassin’s Creed Origins Gold Edition
and, in addition to the two DLC,
includes the Horus Pack and Roman Centurion Pack with their own set of
weapons, mounts and outfits, a legendary weapon and 500 Helix credits.
The season pass is also available for purchase separately for $59.95AUD.
Additionally,
a wide variety of free content, including Trials of the Gods and a new
quest, Incoming Threat,
a prelude to DLC 1 The Hidden Ones, in which players must head-off an
incoming incursion and find where its coming from, will be available for
all Assassin’s Creed Origins players.
