Assassin's Creed: Origins fans looking to extend their stay in Ancient Egypt will be happy to know that Ubisoft today detailed their post-launch content for the game, including season pass content and free add-on content available to all players.
The first downloadable content for AC: Origins, "The Hidden Ones," will actually be available next week on January 23 for all platforms. This is a "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." Additionally, the expansion will increase the level cap to 45, and grant 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 will be available for all season pass owners or can be purchased separately for $9.99.
Next, we have the Discovery Tour By Assassin's Creed: Ancient Egypt, a new educational mode of the game that lets players "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." Discovery Tour will be available as a free update for all Origins owners and can be purchased separately for $19.99 for PC on February 20.
In March, the second expansion, "The Curse of the Pharaohs," will launch yet another new storyline that sends players to Thebes to investigate an ancient curse that is plaguing the region. The description reads: "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 expansion will increase the level cap to 55 and grant 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 $19.99 on March 6, 2018.
The season pass is included in the Assassin’s Creed Origins Gold Edition and, in addition to the two DLC, includes the Horus Pack and Roman Centurion Pack with their own set of weapons, mounts and outfits, a legendary weapon and 500 Helix credits. The season pass is also available for purchase separately for $39.99.
Additionally, Ubisoft teases a "wide variety of free content, including Trials of the Gods and a new quest, Incoming Threat, a prelude to DLC 1 The Hidden Ones, in which players must head-off an incoming incursion and find where its coming from, will be available for all Assassin’s Creed: Origins players."
