Since it was released on November 11, Assassin’s Creed Unity has been plagued by a plethora or issues. The game has suffered from so many bug, glitches, and technical issues that the third patch will have around 300 bug fixes. To make amends for the launch, Ubisoft has apologized and announced that Assassin’s Creed Unity’s upcoming DLC will be free.

 

“I want to sincerely apologize on behalf of Ubisoft and the entire Assassin's Creed team,” said Ubisoft Montreal CEO Yannis Mallat in a blog post. “These problems took away from your enjoyment of the game, and kept many of you from experiencing the game at its fullest potential.”

 

The Dead Kings DLC will be free for everyone that purchased the game when it is released. When it becomes available, it will be listed as an add-on for both Uplay and Steam where PC gamers will be able to download it. Meanwhile, those who purchased the Season Pass or Assassin’s Creed Unity Gold Edition, will be given the choice of one free game from a selection of the developer’s titles – The Crew, Far Cry 4, Watch Dogs, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Rayman Legends, or Just Dance 2015. 

 

No date has been provided for when the Dead Kings DLC will be released and available for download except that it is “coming soon.” Furthermore, Ubisoft has discontinued selling the Season Pass for Assassin’s Creed Unity.
