In this self-contained set of missions, players will explore the murky depths of the Basilica and fight merciless adversaries to uncover the darkest secrets of the city. Arno will equip the new Guillotine gun, a deadly explosive weapon for short and long range combat. In addition to the main missions, players will discover new open-world activities including treasure hunts, murder mysteries and contracts, as well as new co-op missions. Additional weapons, gear, skills and outfits can be unlocked and carried over to the main game.

I don't understand why people keep saying Ubisoft is milking the AC franchise. Sure they have a lot of sequels, but each of them is very fun to play and unique in its own way, I think.

I'm not sure I will like the china DLC, but all the other extras I definitely will. I guess I'll be getting this and Shadow of Mordor's season passes.

My same thought, AC fans have been asking for an AC set in Japan and China for years and this 2.5D BS is what they have to show for an AC set in China.

Why not set it in the French Revolution's time period and wait to do a full retail AC set in China with new animations matching chinese martials arts?!

I agree with you. After her introduction in Assassin's Creed: Embers, Shao Jun was a shoe-in for her own game; but not like this! Come on, she invented the rope dart! A game set in China would have been a nice change.

I've wanted to see an Asian themed AC since the first game, but this is not what I had hoped for.

100% dick move by the suits up in management. I guess with this they tick off two things hanging on their shoulders: 1. Appease the feminists with a female protagonist 2. Make an 'Asian' creed game.

This game is designed to tank, make no mistake, it's purely a marketing move. Wouldn't be surprised if it ends up on iOS etc seeing as that's the dumping ground for cross-marketing games.

Exactly. They know people have been asking for a Chinese or Japanese Creed game for years. But they seem to have no interest in radically changing the gameplay of the core series to accommodate martial arts or the vastly different architecture of China and Japan.

I can only hope that this is an experiment to gauge people's interest in the character and setting, and that a full fledged game will follow. Because TBH I've been bored of the series since Brotherhood. This would get me excited for AC again.

AC Chronicles China looks fun! It sort of reminds me of Mark of the Ninja, which was great.

Would have been cool if we could have got a Shao Jun game on console, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're doing this because they want to cover a different time period in China rather than Shao Jun's time period.
