Another great news for Assassins fans: Yannis Mallat, Ubisoft Montreal executive wrote in a blog post today saying that to compensate further for the trouble, the studio will be releasing the anticipated "Dead Kings" DLC for free.

"I want to sincerely apologize on behalf of Ubisoft and the entire Assassin's Creed team. These problems took away from your enjoyment of the game, and kept many of you from experiencing the game at its fullest potential," he wrote.

"To show our appreciation for your continued support, we're making the upcoming Assassin's Creed Unity Dead Kings DLC free for everyone," Mallat explained.

He also added that for those Season Pass holders, they are entitled to grab "one additional game from a selection of Ubisoft titles [also] for FREE."

"We are hopeful that with these forthcoming updates, everyone will be able to truly enjoy their Assassin's Creed Unity experience," he concluded the letter.
