Jan 9, 2018 at 12:15pm EST

Ubisoft has released new information on 'The Hidden Ones', the first story expansion for Assassin's Creed Origins included with the Season Pass.

As a reminder, the Season Pass also includes a second story expansion titled 'The Curse of the Pharaohs' where Egypt's ancient rulers will inexplicably come back to life, so to speak, as undead mummies.
