Assassins,

The Dead Kings DLC is now available for free on Steam and all platforms where Assassin's Creed Unity is available. If you already own Assassin's Creed Unity, this free DLC will be deployed as a download to your AC Unity game via the Steam downloader. If you do not own Unity, this DLC will be free forever and will come with your purchase from the AC Unity Steam Store Page.




Picking up following the events of Assassin’s Creed Unity, the new Dead Kings DLC leads Arno to the dark and dreary city of Saint Denis, the final resting place of French royalty. But what will Arno uncover in the dismal and decrepit crypts that lie beneath the foreboding Basillica? Mysteries and intrigue fold in on themselves within the shadows of Saint Denis’ ancient catacombs, threatening to envelope Arno as well!

Enter the subterranean warren of tunnels and chambers armed with new weaponry to bolster Arno’s arsenal. Included in this update is the multipurpose Guillotine Gun which combines the skull-splitting heft of a heavy axe with the room-clearing blast radius of a grenade launcher.


Dead Kings also adds new co-op and single-player missions as well as new open world activities including treasure hunts, contracts and Murder Mysteries, delivering plenty of extra content to blow into smithereens with your new Guillotine Gun.

In letting go of a lifetime of regret, Arno may also lose his life to the secrets buried within Saint Denis…

We've decided to place Assassin's Creed Initiates in a continued state of maintenance during the holiday period.

The reasoning for this is to minimize the effect from outages to your experience during this time, as well as to allow us work on ensuring the technical stability of the platform.

Although AC Initiates will be in maintenance and thus unavailable to access via the web or console browsers, all gold Initiates chests are now unlocked in game for online players. You will receive an in game error message when attempting to access the ACI website from in-game due to the maintenance. This is expected behaviour, and will be addressed in a future update. However, you will have unrestricted access to all the chests with the golden ACI crest and the rewards within them.

Please note that you won't be able to access the gold Initiates chests if you are playing offline.

As always, you can find this update and the latest updates on our Live Updates Blog.

Finally, we want to thank you for your continued passion and feedback. We hope you have a pleasant holiday.
