The Romans will come, will see, and will conquer in "Assassin's Creed: Origins," as the latest expansion for the ancient Egypt-themed game will feature the might of the Roman empire.
This expansion or downloadable content (DLC) for "Assassin's Creed: Origins" will see Caesar's legions going toe-to-toe with Bayek's growing collective of assassins, as the tension between Cleopatra's Egypt and Caesar's Rome grows more. The expansion will be titled, "The Hidden Ones," and it is set to arrive sometime this month along with a slew of new content updates for the game.
"The Hidden Ones" will then introduce players to a quest of the same name, where Bayek will be part of a new story which is promised to be quite elaborate and vast. According to the official announcement from Ubisoft, the developer and publisher of the game, Bayek and his assassin's will be fighting the Romans. Whether these enemies will be the standard legionary or Caesar's own assassins remains to be seen.
As such, the new enemies and the new content for players to finish will come with an increased level cap from 40 to 45. With the arrival of a new expansion and new quests for the players, new weapons, armor, and skills can also be expected, along with new challenges which will test the patience and dedication of fans of the franchise.
Apart from the Romans, Bayek will also be having problems with the Egyptian gods, as Anubis and Sobek will rise once again to challenge players in the Trials of the Gods missions. Anubis, the Egyptian God of the Dead, will be available on Jan. 9 to 16 while Sobek, the crocodile-headed God will be available from Jan. 23 to 30.
Meanwhile, players who bought the Season Pass promo for "Assassin's Creed: Origins" will no longer have to purchase "The Hidden Ones" DLC in order to acquire it, as it will be free for them. Otherwise, players are advised to wait for official price listings and announcements.
