An
Update on Assassin’s Creed Unity from Yannis Mallat details a
dramatic gesture from Ubisoft to compensate customers for launch problems with
Assassin's Creed Unity along with word of the release of
the promised third
patch for the stealth/action game (thanks Guile). Word is they will now give the
Dead Kings DLC to everyone who owns the game. They will also give season pass
holders a free game, and while they say: "Season Pass holders will continue to
have access to a variety of additional content, including Assassin’s Creed
Chronicles: China," they also say: "We are discontinuing sales of the Season
Pass." All the details are in an
Assassins Creed Unity Offer FAQ, and here's the overview:
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:
