Assassin’s Creed Pirates gets a treasure trove of new content

Yarrrr, avast me matey’s! Assassin’s Creed Pirates, the mobile piratical adventure has gotten a dose of fresh content thanks to a new update from Ubisoft.

This is no teensy-tiny update either, as the new download for players of the strategic swashbuckling title for both iOS and Android platforms is a veritable treasure chest. New missions and achievements as well as a brand new map to explore all await in the update, which is available now.

An update to satisfy any pirate’s plundering and pillaging needs, players will have access to a new map with beautiful scenic explorations as they embark on a new campaign mission as well as 10 new side quests to find treasure, unlock ships, and prove their worthiness on the high seas.

The difficulty has also been raised to challenge even the most experienced pirate. The new map, Nassau, will be the most challenging play area yet, but defense has become more difficult across all missions. New defense and dodge mechanics have been introduced, allowing players to destroy cannonballs mid-fire and offering more counterattack capabilities. With the raised level of difficulty during battle even the most experienced buccaneers will have to keep an eye on their health bar.

Also very cool is that the game now features a multiplayer element of sorts with new “social features”. The added feature-set allows for players to “measure up against friends and foes on their journey to find La Buse’ missing treasure”.

You can nab this new bountiful booty by updating your copy (or downloading a fresh one) of Assassin’s Creed Pirates right now on either iOS or Android.
