Looks like that leaked release date for the first Assassin's Creed Origins DLC, The Hidden Ones, was accurate. Ubisoft has just announced the first DLC pack will be releasing on 23rd January. However, that isn't the only release date it's revealed. In a press release, the publisher has also plotted out two more add-ons heading to their Egyptian open world.
Discovery Tour by Assassin's Creed: Ancient Egypt is what Ubisoft is calling its brand new mode in which enemy encounters and missions are removed from the experience, letting you take in the sights and sounds of the period in peace. You'll also be able to embark on guided tours "curated by historians and Egyptologists". It sounds pretty cool if you ask us, and it'll be made available for free on 20th February.
Next up is the second major DLC pack, entitled The Curse of the Pharaohs. This focuses on Egyptian mythology, the press release says, and increases the level cap to 55, as well as adding a whole bunch of new outfits, weaponry, and other gear. The Curse of the Pharaohs will be released on 6th March.
These will all be included in the season pass, naturally, or made available separately. Will you be checking out Bayek's DLC adventures? Walk like an Egyptian in the comments below.

I will definitely be checking them out - my 2nd favourite game from 2017 and glad I bought the 'gold' edition with Season Pass included. Hope there is more than just these though or at least they as big as 'Blood and Wine'
Comment because headline lol
Anyway, still haven't finished the base game
I wonder if the Egyptian God, Mo Salah, will feature.
@ApostateMage He's the one causing sandstorms with his sheer speed.
@AFCC What do you think so far?
Sucks that it sounds like hidden ones is smaller of the two add ons considering that's the one I was most interested in considering its canon while the other just sounds like a what if scenario. I'm slightly disappointed but still looking forward to playing these
I'm waiting for a steep discount on a game of the year addition before I hop in.
I don't have the time for this right now, but I rented it and didn't hate it.
I am loving origins atm hopefully the season pass will be discounted soon!
There are some nice pictures in the "Atlas" as well, of Sinai and Valley of Kings.
keen as, link to source?
Definitely buying the DLC. Loved this game.
@bbtothe If we don't link a source it's usually because we've either been tipped by a reliable source or we've been sent an official press release. The latter applies for this one.
@ShogunRok ah cool thanks for letting me know, I have a weird thing for reading press releases
I dont own Assassins Creed Origins - I just came for the article tag line. Nice.
@YeYa it's great! I really like the map, diverse and faithful (I imagine) to Egypt...and it's gigantic!
I also really like the combat to be honest!
I must be like at 50% or something but I got to a main mission with level way higher than mine so I gotta grind a bit now
