Free Assassin's Creed Pirates update adds hours of content

Assassin's Creed Pirates, the mobile spin-off of the recent blockbuster Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, received a second, free major update this week.

Much like the first update released in January, Ubisoft says the second update adds hours of content with a new map area, new campaign mission, two new ships, three secondary missions, and more collectibles. It also introduces a new mission type, Survival, in which you can fish and hunt for food.

Set in the year 1716 during the golden age of piracy in the Caribbean, Assassin's Creed Pirates puts players into the shoes of Alonzo Batilla, a young and ambitious captain on a quest to find La Buse's famed treasure. Players must manage their crew, upgrade their ships, and recruit new crew members as they take part in real-time naval battles.

You can buy Assassin’s Creed Pirates for $5 from the iTunes App Store and Google Play.
