A very important patch for Assassin's Creed: Origins. The amount of fixes and changes is very large and affects every aspect of the game, from the sound to the gameplay.
The most important changes of patch 1.2.0, however, concern real content that is added to the main game experience. With the update, a new quest will be added which is titled Incoming Threat and above all from this moment on Assassin's Creed: Origins will have the support of the first DLC of Bayek's adventure: The Hidden Ones. The expansion will be set ten years after the events narrated in the base game. Other new content in this update includes new items to be found in Heka Chests.
The update will introduce a series of fixes that will fully improve the gaming experience thanks to a very substantial bug fix. The patch, after all, is not even very heavy, we are talking about 3 GB on PS4 and Xbox One, 1,2 GB for Steam users and 2,6 GB for Uplay.
The Hidden Ones DLC will add a new plot, a new region to explore, an increase in the maximum level and presumably new equipment to be obtained.
