Ubisoft offering Free Games Following a rocky launch for Assassin's Creed Unity

Following a rocky launch for Assassin's Creed Unity, Ubisoft Montreal CEO Yannis Mallat apologized for the issues and is offering free DLC to all owners of the game.

"I want to sincerely apologize on behalf of Ubisoft and the entire Assassin's Creed team," Mallat said. "These problems took away from your enjoyment of the game, and kept many of you from experiencing the game at its fullest potential."

He continued, "To show our appreciation for your continued support, we’re making the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Unity Dead Kings DLC free for everyone. For Season Pass holders, we will also offer the choice of one additional game from a selection of Ubisoft titles for free."



The eligible games are listed below. If you purchased Assassin's Creed Unity Gold Edition, which includes the season pass, you're entitled to a free game as well. Ubisoft is still in the process of setting up a system to process this offer, and will share an update soon.
The Crew
Far Cry 4
Watch Dogs
Assassin's Creed Black Flag
Rayman Legends
Just Dance 2015

Note: The season pass is no longer for sale.

Once the Dead Kings DLC is available, you'll be able to find it through an in-game link. No release date is announced for it yet, but Ubisoft says it's "coming soon."

Patch 3 for Assassin's Creed Unity is rolling out this week, with over 300 fixes for stability, gameplay, progression and more. Ubisoft has said that "While you might notice some improvements to framerate as a result of Patch 3, we still have a future patch planned to further address framerate concerns."

Aliens vs. Predator for free! But only for 2 days?

Did the recent release of Alien: Isolation stoke your desire for more extraterrestrial adventures? GOG.com is hoping to scratch that itch with their most recent promotion: you can download Aliens vs. Predator for free from the company's site.

Available until Friday, the classic FPS is also a way for GOG to test their Galaxy multiplayer client. In a press release, GOG VP of online tech wrote, "We're ready to take in more gamers, and AvP seemed like a natural choice: it's high up on our community wishlist, and it's definitely one of the all-time best FPS titles. It also allows for testing Galaxy in a more dynamic environment."

The press release notes that "Galaxy testers will soon be able to play AvP with their Steam friends using GOG Galaxy's cross-play feature, as the game is scheduled to receive a dedicated cross-compatibility update on Steam."

In addition, GOG announced that they've upped the total number of Linux-compatible titles to 100 with the addition of Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment, Papers, Please, and others. You can see the full list of Linux compatible games on the GOG website.
