The controversial ending of the
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey: Legacy of the First Blade – Shadow Heritage DLC is no more, Ubisoft Quebec has silently announced in the recent patch notes for Update 1.1.4.
The company has confirmed that the update has "
adjusted a cut scene and tweaked some dialogue in Shadow Heritage," meaning that the old ending has been scrapped. In that conclusion of the DLC, Alexios or Kassandra (depending on the player's choice) was forced into a heterosexual relationship to have a child and "
grow up", according to the trophy attached to the cinematic in question.
Considering that you can finish almost every single quest in the base game as a homosexual or asexual character, it would definitely make sense to continue that approach during the post-launch support.
Altering the DLC's ending is not the only major feature of the aforementioned update, as it has also brought the long-awaited New Game+ functionality, more fast travel points,
Wild Boar Character Pack, and other improvements. Be sure to learn more about the February drop of content down below:
