Post its launch Ubisoft’s popular creation Assassin’s Creed Unity has constantly been riddled with Bugs and glitches(for more information click here), which caused unrest amongst the players who claimed that significant issues hindered a smooth gaming experience . Eventually to resolve the problems Ubisoft released a number of updates and patches to keep things going .With so much focus being placed on fixing the game, the upcoming DLC was put into question. While it seems like the DLC will move on as planned, there have been a number of changes including the discontinuation of sales on the Assassin’s Creed Unity Season Pass. If you have already purchased the pass though don’t worry, Ubisoft is making sure that all players are taken care of.
Since the base game ails from such serious issues, Ubisoft has decided to release Assassin’s Creed Unity Dead Kings DLC free of cost so whether you bought the Season Pass or not you will be able to download this additional chapter without paying anything. This would probably upset those who already purchased the pass expecting the DLC to be an exclusive reward, but they will be getting a few extras to keep them satisfied.
Free game included
Season Pass holders will still receive all of the planned content they were originally meant to get, which includes Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China. On top of this they will be eligible for a free game from Ubisoft. The available games are The Crew, Far Cry 4, Watch Dogs, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Rayman Legends, and Just Dance 2015. The system by which players will receive their free game is still being worked out, so keep checking back for updates.
For more insight on the matter we have the full announcement by Ubisoft CEO Yannis Mallat
The launch of Assassin’s Creed Unity was a highly-anticipated moment for me and for our development teams around the world who dedicated a tremendous amount of energy, passion and skill to the game’s creation. For us, it was the culmination of years of work on new technologies, the development of multiple innovations — including an all-new game engine — and an evolution of the Assassin’s Creed franchise’s core pillars. More importantly, we know that it was a highly-anticipated moment for many of you as well, as you looked forward to taking part in the first truly next generation Assassin’s Creed game.
Unfortunately, at launch, the overall quality of the game was diminished by bugs and unexpected technical issues. I want to sincerely apologize on behalf of Ubisoft and the entire Assassin’s Creed team. These problems took away from your enjoyment of the game, and kept many of you from experiencing the game at its fullest potential.
We’ve been working hard to fix the problems players are reporting, and the patches we have released so far have resolved many of them. Today, we’re releasing our third patch, which fixes a variety of specific issues related to the game’s stability and performance, matchmaking and connectivity, gameplay and menus. You can find the release notes on that patch here: Patch 3 Notes
To show our appreciation for your continued support, we’re making the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Unity Dead Kings DLC free for everyone. For Season Pass holders, we will also offer the choice of one additional game from a selection of Ubisoft titles for free. More details on the offer for Season Pass holders can be found here: AC Unity FAQ
In addition to the latest patch and this offer, we are committed to delivering further fixes for other issues you’ve raised. In the meantime, please keep your feedback coming – it has been both humbling and incredibly helpful as we continue working hard to improve the overall quality of the game. We are hopeful that with these forthcoming updates, everyone will be able to truly enjoy their Assassin’s Creed Unity experience.
We will continue striving to make Assassin’s Creed one of the most ambitious and innovative franchises on the market, and we thank you for your continued loyalty and support.
Sincerely,
Yannis Mallat
CEO, Ubisoft Montreal & Toronto
