Ubisoft is rolling out a new Assassin’s Creed Origins update tomorrow that’ll pave the way for the upcoming The Hidden Ones expansion.

The update carries version number 1.2.0 and it’s available starting tomorrow on all platforms. It adds a new quest free for all owners of Assassin’s Creed Origins. Preparing for the launch of The Hidden Ones means the game’s map has been expanded with the addition of two regions.

They’re Sinai, and the Valley of Kings region. The new quest, called Incoming Threat, will likely set up the story of the expansion. The update also adds the ability to sell back outfits to the Weaver shops, and a toggle for the visibility of inventory items on the gear menu.

The DLC items previously available at the store, such as the Nightmare, First Civilization, Gladiator, Wacky, and Almighty packs have been added to the Heka Chest table.

The update comes in at 3GB for PS4, and Xbox One, 2.6GB for Uplay, and 1.2GB for Steam. Ubisoft has not yet revealed the release date for The Hidden Ones.

PSA for those who  have base game on Steam and want to buy Season Pass: You may have noticed 3rd party sites selling Uplay season pass for very cheap compared to Indian Steam Price (Steam Price: INR 2499/38.95 US$ vs 3rd party sellers selling for 2000 INR; it used to be even less before). DO NOT BUY THE UPLAY SEASON PASS KEY IF YOU HAVE BASE STEAM VERSION. The Uplay season pass key will be accepted on Uplay, and in game store the season pass will show as purchased/installed. But you will not get any of the season pass content. Your money will be gone. The 3rd party key site will not refund you since the key is accepted and redeemed on Uplay. UPlay/Ubisoft will not refund you since the base game is steam version. Steam will not refund you since you have not purchased from them. Your money will be gone on a waste key, and Steam will still force you to buy season pass from them if your base game is with steam and you want to play the expansions. A friend of mine did this, and wasted his money. For Steam versions of the base game, only Steam season pass will work, which can only be acquired via Steam store. No 3rd party sells steam AC:O Season pass.

 

With regards to the Hidden ones expansion itself, I have completed it. While it's good, it's also very short. Level cap is raised to 45. But you will hit the cap far too quickly. Every quest (main/side/miscillaneous) gives a huge amount of exp (8000/12000/22000/24000 exp per quest). You will be gaining one level with one or 2 quests itself. Also there are only 10 main missions, and they are far too easy. The new area is not that big (appx. 2 new towns(not cities like Alexandria, but medium sized towns); 1-2 new major 3 arrow fort); that's it. Main and side quests are quite short. The expansion will be over before you know it.

 

In other news, the discovery tour comes on February 20. The curse of the Pharaos (2nd major xpac, and the most important expansion I think, considering majority of the season pass charges is for this expansion) is coming on March 6. A new game plus mode is announced (no date yet). See the video below for a preview of the discovery tour.

after playing games like nioh, so difficult to getting used to the combat in this game.  I keep dodging all the time, thanks to muscle memory of square/triangle combo instead of r1/r2 :-/

 

Switch control scheme to traditional AC, that's the first thing I did. Shoulder buttons to attack is only reserved for Soulsborne games.

I instantly switched it from the R1/R2 attack to X & Y control. Thank God this game offers customization on the controller scheme and full remapping. Else I would be stuck with 'L3' to pick up loot. Who even thought of mapping it to that button? :blink:
