Ubisoft has lifted the lid on what players can expect from the Assassin’s Creed Unity Season Pass, namely two brand new campaigns - one set after the events of Unity, and the other a 2.5D spinoff set in China,
In addition to Dead Kings and Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China, owners will earn access to new weapons, gear and skills that can cross over from the main campaign to the DLC.
Here’s the official blurb for each new adventure:
Dead Kings
The Season Pass will take you from the bloody streets of revolutionary Paris to the troubled city of Saint Denis in Assassin’s Creed Unity Dead Kings, a new story campaign that takes place after the events of Unity. Arno leaves Paris and finds himself wrapped up in the mysteries surrounding Saint Denis. Explore the city’s extensive underground with Arno’s lantern. Beware the animals wandering in the darkness…
Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China
Take your adventure beyond France to a new standalone story set in 16th century China starring Shao Jun, a fan-favorite from the Assassin’s Creed Embers animated movie. Trained by Ezio Auditore, Shao Jun has returned to Beijing as the last remaining Assassin of the Chinese Brotherhood. Hell-bent on revenge, she will strike out against those who destroyed her Brotherhood.
Dead Kings adds a new ‘Guillotine Gun’, which sounds rather unpleasant, and several new side missions in addtion to the central story. The action doesn’t all move over to Saint Denis, there’s also three misssions back in paris that can be played solo or in co-op.
Chronicles: China switches over the shoulder third-person for side-scrolling platform action in a world ”inspired by traditional brush paintings”. Shao Jun can utilise her martial arts prowess and several weapons, including the Jian Sword and the Foot Blade, to take on enemies. Expect to explore famous Chinese landmarks like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, and meet up with several famous historical figures.
Assassin’s Creed Unity drops this November for PC and current-gen consoles. Pre-orders for the game and its Season Pass are open now.
