Assassin's Creed: Unity free DLC Dead Kings is available to download from January 13. This free DLC for AC Unity adds five hours to the game by giving Arno a trip away from the city of Paris to the town of Franciade, known as Saint-Denis prior to the church-hatin' Revolution.
Once you have downloaded Dead Kings for free (a make-nice from Ubisoft for the trouble with Unity), you can begin the DLC by travelling to Franciade by using the carriages marked with an F on your map, such as the one shown in the video above.
To start the DLC, you don't need to have finished the game but you do need to have finished Sequence Four: the one in which you slosh around in the sewers and then kill the King of Rats. Speaking of exploring underground passages: we hope you enjoy exploring underground passages, because there is plenty of that to come in the Dead Kings DLC.
In it, Arno agrees to help de Sade get hold of a lost manuscript in return for safe passage out of the country. In the course of doing that, Arno has to go tomb raiding in the crypts underneath the town, which are full of rats, bats, and the titular dead kings.
In the course of doing *that*, Arno discovers a new faction of shifty enemies, known as Raiders, who are down there hunting for mystic relics and precious treasures.
Above ground, on the other hand, the town of Franciade/Saint-Denis is gloomier than a coachload of goths, adding a ruined basilica, a spooky cemetery and a broken windmill to the list of things for Arno to climb.
The Dead Kings DLC also adds a new guillotine gun, a fancy new oil lantern for lighting his way and scaring off subterranean, plus new murder mysteries, enigmas and co-op missions, with gear rewards for carrying back over into the main game.
