New updates for Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed video game, Assassin's Creed: Unity have been revealed.
Ubisoft unveiled two new DLC campaigns for Assassin' Creed: Unity. According to reports fro VG24/7, Assassin's Creed: Unity will feature two new campaigns as Ubisoft confirmed the contents of the season pass. The season pass comes with extra missions and weapons for the main game, the Dead Kings campaign along with a new, downloadable title, dubbed Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China.
The website was able to give out the information on the two DLC campaigns.
Assassin’s Creed Unity Dead Kings takes place after the events of the main game. It’s set in Saint Denis, a city where the royal French family is buried, and a place where a lot trouble and plundering is taking place. Arno will be getting a new weapon, called the Guillotine gun, as well as new gear, skills and outfits to unlock. The DLC will also contain open-world activities such as treasure hunts, murder mysteries, contracts and co-op missions.
Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China is the second piece of content included in the season pass. It’s a downloadable title that reimagines Assassin’s Creed on 2.5D a plane. It’s set in 16th century China and follows Shao Jun, who’s the last remaining assassin of the Chinese Brotherhood. Shao Jun learned her combat and stealth skills from Ezio Auditore and will be going back home on a quest for revenge.
The season pass will also include more missions, weapons and customization options for the main game, which amount to over 30 new weapons, equipment and outfits, including Fleur de Lys sword, which is only available to season pass holders.
Meanwhile, there have been reports that the release date for Assassin's Creed: Unity has been delayed.
According to reports from The Fuse Joplin, the game developers of Assassin's Creed: Unity have found some system issues of the game in the PlayStation 4 and Xbox consoles. The development team announced that the delay would allow them to work better on the title and make the necessary changes.
Compared to a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, the new platforms have more PC like technical systems and it is mandatory for them to make sure the games run well on them. Besides all this, there’s also the issue of delivering 1080p resolution on these platforms which has been giving a hard time for developers. The recent Gamescom trailer looked a bit dumbed down and the graphics wasn't as cool looking as the game originally showed during E3 2014.
The website further add that Ubisoft made an official press statement saying that the two weeks or so delay period will allow the developers to enhance the fan service of the game, as expected by fans.
One just can’t be sure how genuine this statement is. But, it is also going to be a tough problem for Ubisoft because October is free in terms of competitors on board. When it goes to November, other major titles are on board such as Call of Duty Advanced Warfare, Alien Isolation, Lord of the Rings Shadow of Mordor, Far Cry 4 and others will hit the retail shelves.
PC Advisor has reported that Assassin's Creed: Unity will be released on November 11, 2014 in North America, and November 13 in Europe.
