Today Ubisoft released the patch notes for the next update for Assassin’s Creed Origins, which will be released tomorrow, February 20th.
The main additions in the update include the Discovery Tour, that will let you roam Egypt just enjoying the scenery, or follow 75 specific tours centered on focused themes, pretty much like a tourist or a student that just got access to a virtual time machine.
The New Game+ mode will let you restart the game after completing it while keeping all of your weapons, abilities, and outfits.
Yet, that’s not all, as we also get plenty of fixes and tweaks, some of which are specific to the PC version of the game.
In order to introduce the Discovery Tour, Ubisoft also released a handy trailer, in which the development team explains the goals of the feature, and scientists opine on its value for students and teachers alike.
You can check it out below. If you want to see more, you can also enjoy a few recent screenshots.
Assassin’s Creed Origins is currently available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Recently, Ubisoft disclosed that it’s trending to sell twice as many copies than its predecessor, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate.
