Assassins Creed Unity Season Pass Takes Players To The Great Wall Of China

Ubisoft has blown the lid off its Assassin’s Creed Unity season pass, revealing we’ll finally be able to experience China in the 16th century, although the standaloneAssassin’s Creed Chronicles: China adventure isn't necessarily what most of us were expecting.It’s not the only thing to be included with the Season Pass though, as Ubisoft also announced Assassin’s Creed Unity Dead Kings, a brand new story campaign taking place after the events of the main game, while a host of additional missions, weapons and customisation options will be hitting the streets of Paris as part of the bundle.

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China stars female assassin Shao Jun, the last member of the Chinese brotherhood (sisterhood?). Unlike traditional Assassin’s Creeds, AC Chronicles: China will be a 2.5D brush painting-inspired campaign, where players will be able to perform parkour on the Great Wall of China, as Shao Jun uses the skills she’s learned from legendary assassin Ezio Auditore to perform lethal takedowns and strike swiftly from the shadows. If Ubisoft’s legacy with Prince of Persia is anything to go by then this could well be worth keeping an eye on.

Dead Kings meanwhile is a new story campaign taking place after the events of Assassin’s Creed Unity, in which Arno leaves the confines of the Parisian city centre for the commune of Saint-Denis. In this self-contained act there will be new missions, treasure hunts, contracts, murder mysteries and even the new Guillotine gun to play with.

Ubisoft is aiming to launch of all the DLC, including the standalone Chronicles: China by early 2015.
