Assassin's Creed: Unity frees Dead Kings DLC next week
Dead Kings, the first bit of DLC for Assassin's Creed: Unity, launches on January 13 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC in North America (In Europe, the Middle East and Asia, the PS4 version hits on January 14). The DLC follows Arno after the events of Unity as he explores the mysterious city of Saint Denis, Guillotine gun in hand. Dead Kings is free to everyone who owns Unity, as penance for the full game's buggy launch. Ubisoft Montreal and Toronto CEO Yannis Mallat announced the price cut in November. "Unfortunately, at launch, the overall quality of the game was diminished by bugs and unexpected technical issues," Mallat said. "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." Those who purchased a Unity Season Pass before November 25 would have received the DLC at no extra cost anyway, so Ubisoft is offering those folks a free game, from a list including Far Cry 4, The Crew and Watch Dogs. Eligible players can redeem the free game right here through March 15. Make sure to read the fine print first, though – accepting the free game waives your right to sue Ubisoft regarding the state of Unity, either solo or in a class-action lawsuit. Microsoft, Sony, Valve and other gaming companies have included similar clauses in their Terms of Service agreements. [Image: Ubisoft]
