Assassin’s Creed Origins Season Pass and free DLC revealed

Ubisoft has revealed details on Assassin’s Creed Origins post-launch content, including the Season Pass and free DLC.

Ubisoft has shared details on the post-launch content coming to Assassin’s Creed Origins. This includes both the paid Season Pass as well as several free add-ons, some of them available on day one. Those latter include the Nomad’s Bazar, featuring a wandering merchant giving players daily quests, completing which earns them mysterious exotic rewards. The other DLC available for free on the launch day is the photo mode, letting you take and edit photos of ancient Egypt and share them with the community.

What’s also free is the so-called Trials of the Gods, a series of boss battles during special timed events. The first one of those is starting 15 days after the release of Assassin’s Creed Origins. And there is also the Discovery Tour mode coming early next year.

Thanks Farflame!

More information.

So called Season Pass is not free.
And it should be, or they need to make ACO2 and not cut out content just to milk more $.

Is this going to be an RPG, or just another AC?

These AC games are just plain repetitive.

I actually agree with you for once. I've tried multiple times to get into the series, but they're too gamey for me despite the well-crafted environments.

Sam here. Too repetitive. I sincerely doubt they have changed up the action formula into enough of an RPG to be interesting. I'm such a sucker for anything to do with sailing ships. Black Flag's sailing sequences were really fun….for about the first three times I did them. They have a real knack for repetitive gameplay, if they could make sailing boring for me. I suspect adding an expanded inventory and some skill trees isn't going to change the game fundamentally. Could be wrong, though.

The only part that interests me is the Discovery Tour DLC. At 20 minutes in length, however, it doesn't seem worth the trouble until the game is on sale for $5.

From what I have seen, this might be RPG Lite similar to Horizon Zero Dawn.

Didn't play HZD so can't know.
But IMO it feels more like FO4 system toned down. Unlike FO4, in ACO trashmobs won't excessively respawn, just here and there which means no reason to desperately search for norespawn mod. On the other hand, seems that just like in FO4, you can pick/master every skill by the end of the game if you'll take care of all sidequests and manage skills whatever minmax way (pick XP bonus skills early) which kinda sucks from RPG point of view but let's not forget you're supposed to be an ultimate killing machine.

The cat is out.

Some people got their hands on the game early and shown the thing everyone wants to see dead, yet Ubi is not letting it to die and is trying to hide it's presence all this time.
It's the ingame shop that works with real $.

As you may notice on pics, skins and mounts are there, whatever, who cares.
But there are also - weapons. Aka pay2win microtransactions.

While Ubi won't sell lootboxes for real $, this ingame shop is IMO still retarded. What's the point of playing a game if you can buy the deadly weapon of doom and pwn everything before you even started playing?

If that garbage wasn't there, I'd preorder the game today. Now I must think more.
