The second expansion for Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Origins, called The Curse of the Pharaohs, launches March 13 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
The latest and final downloadable content takes place four years after the events of the base game, continuing Bayek’s adventure to the capital city of Thebes to investigate a curse that has spread throughout the region. Bayek will also have to contend with undead pharaohs and huge monsters, such as the giant scorpion in the launch trailer below.
“The new expansion immerses players in Egyptian mythology, challenging them to battle famous pharaohs and mystical beasts, as they investigate the temples of Karnak and Luxor as well as the secret tombs of the Valley of the Kings,” according to a Ubisoft press release.
Like the first expansion, The Curse of the Pharaohs will raise the level cap from 45 to 55 and comes with new abilities, crafting levels, and resources. Players can also earn outfits, gear, and legendary and rare weapons with a “classic Egyptian mythology” theme.
The Curse of the Pharaohs launches today for season pass holders on all platforms. The second expansion is the final piece of the Assassin’s Creed Origins season pass, but can also be bought separately.
