To say that Assassin’s Creed: Unity‘s launch has been problematic would be an understatement. Multiple bugs and glitches have plagued players of Ubisoft’s game and some have even gone so far as to call for a full recall. As of right now, Ubisoft doesn’t have any plans to issue a recall, but they do want to do right by gamers who feel they’ve purchased an unfinished product.
First, the publisher will suspend sales of Unity’s Season Pass, effective immediately. Instead, Ubisoft has announced the planned downloadable expansion, Dead Kings, will be available free of charge for everyone that purchased Unity. Players who have already purchased the Season Pass (or Unity’s Gold Edition) will be eligible to receive one of six Ubisoft titles (The Crew, Far Cry 4, Watch Dogs, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Rayman Legends, or Just Dance 2015) instead.
Finally, Ubisoft has confirmed that the rest of the contents of the Season Pass, including the standalone Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China game, will be released as scheduled.
Developers at Ubisoft Montreal will continue to work day and night to patch the problems found in Assassin’s Creed: Unity. A message from CEO Yannis Mallat concerning the situation was recently posted on the game’s official website.
