Assassin's Creed Origins Season Pass Schedule, Two Expansions Due Early 2018
Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Origins is due out for PC and console at the end of October but the studio has released a scheduled for their planned Season Pass.
The good news is that even if you don't own or intend to buy post-launch stuff for the new Assassin's Creed you'll still get free content. Later this year Season Pass holders will get access to two DLC packs adding weapons and mounts.
The more interesting additions will be the two announced expansions coming out early next year.
Season Pass content:
• The Hidden Ones (DLC 1) – This expansion takes place years after the events of Assassin’s Creed Origins in a new region occupied by a Roman force. Bayek and the new Assassins will clash with the Romans as the Brotherhood continues to grow, and players will have a new level cap. Slated for release in January 2018.
• The Curse of the Pharaohs (DLC 2) – The second expansion focuses on Egyptian mythology, pitting players against undead pharaohs and famed Egyptian monsters. Bayek will need to explore a mystical new realm and discover the root of the curse that has brought these creatures to life. This expansion will also raise the level cap again and introduce new skills for Bayek. Scheduled for a March 2018 launch.
• The Roman Centurion and Horus packs – These exclusive item packs will grant Season Pass holders a new outfit, weapons, shield, and mount when they become available in November of this year.
