Overview
- Version 1.0.8 went live on Tuesday, October 27 at 7:00 a.m. PT / 10:00 a.m. ET on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC and is described by Ubisoft as the game’s last major content update.
- The update adds New Game+, which carries over most player progression and items while letting players run up to five additional playthroughs with rising world difficulty.
- New Game+ introduces a mode‑exclusive currency called Escudos that can be earned in NG+ and bought by exchanging Reales at the General Store for NG+‑only outfits and items.
- A new Nightmare Mode makes combat harsher by increasing enemy damage to 1.8x, tightening parry timing, removing the one‑shot safety and changing stealth, naval and environmental threats.
- Patch 1.0.8 also adds hidden community chests, original takedown animations, new cosmetics and a long list of bug fixes, and Ubisoft will give a broader franchise update on October 29 with no major reveals planned.
