Ubisoft is doing its best to right the wrong from its recent bug-filled launch of Assassin’s Creed Unity. The publisher has announced that the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Unity Dead Kings DLC will be free for everyone and those that purchased a Season Pass for the game will be offered the choice of one additional game from a selection of Ubisoft titles. The company is currently setting up the system to process the free offer and Season Pass or Assassin’s Creed Unity Gold Edition owners will get to choose from: The Crew, Far Cry 4, Watch Dogs, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, Rayman Legends and Just Dance 2015.

The company also announced that it’ll be rolling out Assassin’s Creed Unity Patch 3 today on PS4 and Xbox One while PC owners will get it later this week. Ubisoft promises that Patch 3 will have over 300 fixes “designed to improve your Assassin’s Creed Unity experience.” You can read the entire patch notes below.
