The Hidden Ones Arrives for Assassin’s Creed Origins on January 23
Last week, we reported on the possibility that a New Game Plus mode would make its way to Assassin’s Creed Origins in a future update. While fans of the best iteration of the series in recent memory are clamoring for more of the game, the first piece of DLC is set to arrive next week, with The Hidden Ones arriving on January 23, 2018. In addition to The Hidden Ones, details on the Discovery Tour mode and the next piece of DLC, The Curse of the Pharaohs, has arisen.
DLC 1 – The Hidden Ones: This story-driven expansion builds upon the growth of the Brotherhood, taking players four years after the events of Assassin’s Creed Origins as they clash with an occupying Roman force in a new region of the world, the Sinai. This expansion will increase the level cap to 45, allowing players to continue to upgrade and customize their character. Players will have access to four new Legendary weapons, a new outfit, two new mounts and multiple new weapons as well as two new levels for all crafted gear. The Hidden Ones DLC is available for all season pass owners or can be purchased separately for $12.99 on January 23, 2018.
Discovery Tour by Assassin’s Creed: Ancient Egypt: This new educational mode of the game lets everyone, from players to history-enthusiasts and non-gamers, choose between free roaming the beautiful world of Ancient Egypt to learn more about its history and daily life or embarking on guided tours curated by historians and Egyptologists. People can discover and explore a world free of conflict, time pressure or gameplay constraints, where storyline and quests are not active and the world of Ancient Egypt evolves into a combat-free living museum.
DLC 2 – The Curse of the Pharaohs: This new expansion offers players a completely new storyline to delve into as they travel to Thebes to investigate an ancient curse that is plaguing the region. The Curse of the Pharaohs focuses on Egyptian mythology, pitting players against famous pharaohs and Egyptian beasts as they investigate the cause of the curse that has brought the dead pharaohs back to life. This new piece of content will increase the level cap to 55 and give players access to new outfits and gear, including rare and legendary weapons, all themed around classic Egyptian mythology. The Curse of the Pharaohs DLC will be available for season pass owners or can be purchased separately for $25.99 on March 6, 2018.
While DLCs 1 and 2 can be purchased separately or as part of the season pass, the Discovery Tour will be available as a free update for all Assassin’s Creed Origins owners. Additionally, a variety of free content such as a new quest that acts as a prelude to The Hidden Ones will be coming soon.
