Overview
- The patch is live on PS5 and PS4, with downloads of about 22.6GB on PS5 and 16.6GB on PS4 unlocking the Valley of Memory expansion.
- Set before the finale, the new chapter follows Basim to the AlUla region and can be started after the Head of the Snake mission or from a new main‑menu option.
- AlUla adds activities such as Stolen Goods treasure hunts and Oud Melodies musical challenges alongside the story content.
- Core updates include a dedicated Free Jump, mission replays via Animus Sequences, new Hardened and Ultimate Assassin modes with Custom Difficulty, control presets, and tool upgrades.
- Player reactions highlight the generous scope of the free update, even as scrutiny continues over Saudi funding that Ubisoft says provided access to experts and resources for authenticity.
