==Gameplay== | |||
The game features a headquarters for the Brotherhood where Assassins can be trained and new items and equipment can be crafted. As the player levels up their brotherhood, additional rooms and other content become available, opening up new upgrade options.<ref name="Ubiblog">{{Cite web|url=https://blog.ubi.com/assassins-creed-rebellion-build-assassin-brotherhood/|title=Assassin's Creed Rebellion - Build Your Own Assassin Brotherhood|author=Ubisoft|publisher=UbiBlog|date=27 June 2017|accessdate=28 June 2017|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170629143021/https://blog.ubi.com/assassins-creed-rebellion-build-assassin-brotherhood/|archivedate=29 June 2017}}</ref> | |||
The player can also send teams of three Assassins on various infiltration missions. Different skills and character combinations are better suited to some missions than others. In addition, the type of missions completed will have an effect on how the Assassins develop: standard missions are key for gathering resources to upgrade the player's Assassins, while Loot missions will earn materials for crafting. New Assassins are unlocked by collecting their DNA fragments in Story or Legacy missions.<ref name="Ubiblog" /> | |||
==Development== | |||
===Version 1.0.0 (2017–2018)=== | |||
The first official confirmation of the game's development came on 27 June 2017, when the newly-created Facebook page for ''Assassin's Creed: Rebellion'' cross-posted the game's teaser trailer from YouTube.<ref>{{Facebook|MobileACR|posts/426056347779722|Assassin's Creed Rebellion|quote=Forge your brotherhood & spark the...|image=File:ACReb Facebook - First teaser.png}}</ref><ref>{{Youtube|phIiMgozRp4|Assassin's Creed Rebellion - Teaser|UCsh8nwFp0JhAUbCy3YYB1RA|Ubisoft Mobile}}</ref> This was shortly followed with the release of the official key art.<ref>{{Facebook|MobileACR|posts/702543916797629|Assassin's Creed Rebellion|quote=Assassin's Creed Rebellion updated...|image=File:ACReb Facebook - cover image.png}}</ref> No further progress updates were seen until 30 August, when the Facebook page announced that the game was live in {{Wiki|New Zealand}}.<ref>{{Facebook|MobileACR|posts/453087618409928|Assassin's Creed Rebellion|quote=Forge your brotherhood in Assassin's Creed Rebellion, now live in New-Zealand!|image=File:ACReb Facebook - NZ release.png}}</ref> | |||
Even while being tested by the public in open beta mode, the development team behind ''Rebellion'' continually provided software updates to the game, allowing for new features to be tested and removing potential bugs in real-time. The first patch, Update 1.2.0, was released on 26 September. It featured free Daily Login Rewards, Daily Objectives, and the return of [[Assassin's Creed: Rebellion achievements|achievements]]. Unlike in past installments, these achievements are tiered, increasing in difficulty and reward rarity as one advances to the next level. In place of PS4 trophies or Xbox points, ''Rebellion'' rewards the player with the two in-game currencies of coin and [[Helix]] credits, and DNA fragments for Claudia Auditore.<ref>[[File:Facebook.png|15px]] [https://www.facebook.com/notes/assassins-creed-rebellion/update-notes-120-new-features/436179770100713/ Assassin's Creed Rebellion (@MobileACR)] on {{Wiki|Facebook}} "Update Notes 1.2.0 - NEW FEATURES" {{c|[[User blog:VilkaIsBack/Assassin's Creed: Rebellion Update Notes 1.2.0|backup link]]}}</ref> | |||
Update 1.3.1, released on 20 December, introduced ''Rush Mode'', which allowed players to instantly reap mission rewards without having to wait for a team member's next availability, provided the group met or exceeded the mission requirements. The base character and gear stats were increased or decreased in order that the game be a balanced experience for players, and the character profile pages were revamped. Instead of just the three classes of Enforcer, Shadow, and Specialist, they were divided into 9 sub-categories to permit for further role specialization, as outlined in the table below.<ref>[[File:Facebook.png|15px]] [https://www.facebook.com/notes/assassins-creed-rebellion/update-notes-131-new-features/484909071894449/ Assassin's Creed Rebellion (@MobileACR)] on {{Wiki|Facebook}} "Update Notes 1.3.1 - NEW FEATURES" {{c|[[User blog:VilkaIsBack/Assassin's Creed: Rebellion Update Notes 1.3.1|backup link]]}}</ref> | |||

Update 1.4.0, released on 9 March 2018, introduced various features related to mission speed. ''Auto Play'' let the game's algorithm choose what Heroes to send into a room and what actions to take, and ''Speed Up'' increased animation speed by twice or triple the default rate according to player preference. Players could now refresh the Daily Selection to "buy" more DNA fragments or resources using the in-game currencies, allowing for faster progression, as well as customize their Assassin Headquarters layout. Further, this update revealed that [[Rifts]] would return in the form of Helix Rift Events.<ref>[[File:Facebook.png|15px]] [https://www.facebook.com/notes/assassins-creed-rebellion/update-notes-140-new-features/522711108114245/ Assassin's Creed Rebellion (@MobileACR)] on {{Wiki|Facebook}} "Update Notes 1.4.0 - NEW FEATURES" {{c|[[User blog:VilkaIsBack/Assassin's Creed: Rebellion Update Notes 1.4.0|backup link]]}}</ref> The first Helix Event was announced on 19 March, and lasted from 30 April – 6 May. Titled ''[[Horacio's Retribution]]'', it followed [[Horacio de Heredia]]'s joining the Spanish Brotherhood, and set the standard for how Helix Events would operate. Described as a breakthrough in Animus experiences, Helix Events were special simulations that permitted the mixing of two different sets of genetic memories, Aguilar's and the Event's subject(s) of interest, who often were in different time periods and locations than those in the main campaign. Time-limited, Events relied on Helix Rift Tokens in order to play instead of regular Intelligence, and were restricted to players Level 7 and above. Completion of a Helix mission would grant players Data Nodes, which would unlock various tiers of rewards based on the total number collected, with the ultimate goal of earning enough DNA fragments of the event-exclusive Heroes in order to recruit them. In addition, playing Events with certain Heroes would award extra Nodes, pushing players to recruit Assassins as quickly as possible.<ref>[[File:Facebook.png|15px]] [https://www.facebook.com/notes/assassins-creed-rebellion/helix-rift-event-horacios-retribution/537110190007670/ Assassin's Creed Rebellion (@MobileACR)] on {{Wiki|Facebook}} "HELIX RIFT EVENT - Horacio's Retribution" {{c|[[User blog:VilkaIsBack/Assassin's Creed Rebellion Horacio's Retribution|backup link]]}}</ref> | |||
Update 1.5.0, released on 9 June, revamped room gameplay by adding new obstacles such as [[Chase breaker|lifts]], [[zipline]]s, and tripwires, and expanded individual maps, allowing for multiple routes to reach the end. All missions now required Intel Pieces and had Daily Limit caps, forcing players to consider alternative methods to gathering certain resources or DNA fragments. The conditions to unlock Rush Mode were changed from simply meeting mission requirements, to playing a regular quest and earning 3 Stars for keeping all three Assassins alive by mission's end. Last, this update formally promoted the pending release of a limited-time Helix Event that would give players DNA and equipment for exclusive characters.<ref>[[File:Facebook.png|15px]] [https://www.facebook.com/notes/assassins-creed-rebellion/update-notes-150-major-improvements/568159426902746/ Assassin's Creed Rebellion (@MobileACR)] on {{Wiki|Facebook}} "Update Notes 1.5.0 - MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS" {{c|[[User blog:VilkaIsBack/Assassin's Creed: Rebellion Update Notes 1.5.0|backup link]]}}</ref> To the relief of many, developers reassured players that Helix Events would likely reoccur later for those who did not have a chance to earn all the rewards.<ref>[[File:Facebook.png|15px]] [https://www.facebook.com/notes/assassins-creed-rebellion/update-notes-150-major-improvements/568159426902746/?comment_id=586488358403186 Assassin's Creed Rebellion (@MobileACR)] on {{Wiki|Facebook}} "@Marian MayFlower Helix Rift Events will most likely be recurring and you will have an opportunity to earn enough Helix Rift Heroes' DNA Fragments to Rank your Heroes up!" {{c|[[:File:ACReb Facebook - Update 1.5.0 rift event comment.png|screenshot]]}}</ref> | |||
On 8 August, Update 1.6.1 was released, introducing Helix Rift Challenges designed for a specific Role Specialization. Players could brilliantly complete missions to collect Stars and unlock valuable rewards. Additionally, the update made it possible to Rush Helix Rift missions, and various bug fixes and improvements were implemented.<ref name="Apple August 2019">{{Cite web|url=https://apps.apple.com/ph/app/assassins-creed-rebellion/id1164056434|title=Assassin's Creed Rebellion on the App Store – Version History|publisher=Apple|accessdate=23 June 2020|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20190824055655/https://apps.apple.com/ph/app/assassins-creed-rebellion/id1164056434|archivedate=24 August 2019}}</ref> | |||
Update 1.7.0, released on 21 September, revealed ''[[The Ottoman Connection]]'' as the next Helix Event and introduced the Animus Challenges and Animus Boosts features in the Helix Events menu. Time-limited to a couple of days, Animus Challenges were an ever-changing set of optional tasks to complete that upon completion would reward players with [[Helix Credit]]s and DNA Cube fragments. Animus Boosts are benefits that apply to various headquarters activities on certain days of the week and initially only lasted between the hours of 10 - 11 AM and 4 – 5 PM. In chronological order, the bonuses are:<ref>[[File:Facebook.png|15px]] [https://www.facebook.com/notes/assassins-creed-rebellion/update-notes-170-new-animus-challenges-and-animus-boosts/665065127212175/ Assassin's Creed Rebellion (@MobileACR)] on {{Wiki|Facebook}} "Update Notes 1.7.0 - New ANIMUS CHALLENGES AND ANIMUS BOOSTS" {{c|[[User blog:VilkaIsBack/Assassin's Creed: Rebellion Update Notes 1.7.0|backup link]]}}</ref> | |||

Made up of a repeating cycle of ''The Ravens' Wound'' missions now titled ''[[Norway, 872 CE]]'', completing the levels would reward players with DNA fragments for any two of the six new Heroes, with difficulty increasing as players beat successive entries. Notably, however, a player's roster for a single completed mission would be locked from further use in ''Campaign Mode'', encouraging players to quickly level up their other heroes and to maximize the abilities of what heroes they had in order to earn as many DNA fragments as possible. As an additional difficulty, all heroes were required to survive the mission, else it would be automatically failed. Heroes could be unlocked for future use in ''Campaign Mode'' by spending Sync Tokens, though the mission would have to be replayed with a new roster and the Sync Token cost rose with every successive desynch.<ref>{{Ubisoft|url=showthread.php/2325105-Update-Notes-Version-3-0-0?p=15363208#post15363208|text=Update Notes - Version 3.0.0|subdomain=forums|archivedate=20210304163644}}</ref> [[Apollodorus]] was also added as a Hero in the interim in a rerun of ''The Mask of the Ibis''.<ref>{{Twitter|MobileACR|status/1368169495219507200|Assassin's Creed: Rebellion|quote=The Rift has opened!

Assassin's Creed: Rebellion, formerly known under the working title Assassin's Creed: Covenant, is a mobile free-to-play strategy RPG action game developed by Ubisoft Halifax,[1] with contributions from the Montreal-based company Behaviour Interactive.[2][3]
It follows the Spanish Assassins under Aguilar de Nerha in their fight against the Spanish Inquisition during the Reconquista in Spain. The game features notable Assassins such as Ezio Auditore, his sister Claudia, Shao Jun, and Niccolò Machiavelli, along with more than 50 other characters to unlock created exclusively for Rebellion.

Gameplay[edit | edit source]
The game features a headquarters for the Brotherhood where Assassins can be trained and new items and equipment can be crafted. As the player levels up their brotherhood, additional rooms and other content become available, opening up new upgrade options.[5]
The player can also send teams of three Assassins on various infiltration missions. Different skills and character combinations are better suited to some missions than others. In addition, the type of missions completed will have an effect on how the Assassins develop: standard missions are key for gathering resources to upgrade the player's Assassins, while Loot missions will earn materials for crafting. New Assassins are unlocked by collecting their DNA fragments in Story or Legacy missions.[5]
Development[edit | edit source]
Version 1.0.0 (2017–2018)[edit | edit source]
The first official confirmation of the game's development came on 27 June 2017, when the newly-created Facebook page for Assassin's Creed: Rebellion cross-posted the game's teaser trailer from YouTube.[6][7] This was shortly followed with the release of the official key art.[8] No further progress updates were seen until 30 August, when the Facebook page announced that the game was live in New Zealand.[9]
Even while being tested by the public in open beta mode, the development team behind Rebellion continually provided software updates to the game, allowing for new features to be tested and removing potential bugs in real-time. The first patch, Update 1.2.0, was released on 26 September. It featured free Daily Login Rewards, Daily Objectives, and the return of achievements. Unlike in past installments, these achievements are tiered, increasing in difficulty and reward rarity as one advances to the next level. In place of PS4 trophies or Xbox points, Rebellion rewards the player with the two in-game currencies of coin and Helix credits, and DNA fragments for Claudia Auditore.[10]
Update 1.3.1, released on 20 December, introduced Rush Mode, which allowed players to instantly reap mission rewards without having to wait for a team member's next availability, provided the group met or exceeded the mission requirements. The base character and gear stats were increased or decreased in order that the game be a balanced experience for players, and the character profile pages were revamped. Instead of just the three classes of Enforcer, Shadow, and Specialist, they were divided into 9 sub-categories to permit for further role specialization, as outlined in the table below.[11]
| Shadow | Specialist | Enforcer |
|---|---|---|
| Assassination | Disarm | Area of Effect (AOE) |
| Stealth | Support | Damage per Second (DPS) |
| Navigation | Heal | Tank |
Update 1.4.0, released on 9 March 2018, introduced various features related to mission speed. Auto Play let the game's algorithm choose what Heroes to send into a room and what actions to take, and Speed Up increased animation speed by twice or triple the default rate according to player preference. Players could now refresh the Daily Selection to "buy" more DNA fragments or resources using the in-game currencies, allowing for faster progression, as well as customize their Assassin Headquarters layout. Further, this update revealed that Rifts would return in the form of Helix Rift Events.[12] The first Helix Event was announced on 19 March, and lasted from 30 April – 6 May. Titled Horacio's Retribution, it followed Horacio de Heredia's joining the Spanish Brotherhood, and set the standard for how Helix Events would operate. Described as a breakthrough in Animus experiences, Helix Events were special simulations that permitted the mixing of two different sets of genetic memories, Aguilar's and the Event's subject(s) of interest, who often were in different time periods and locations than those in the main campaign. Time-limited, Events relied on Helix Rift Tokens in order to play instead of regular Intelligence, and were restricted to players Level 7 and above. Completion of a Helix mission would grant players Data Nodes, which would unlock various tiers of rewards based on the total number collected, with the ultimate goal of earning enough DNA fragments of the event-exclusive Heroes in order to recruit them. In addition, playing Events with certain Heroes would award extra Nodes, pushing players to recruit Assassins as quickly as possible.[13]
Update 1.5.0, released on 9 June, revamped room gameplay by adding new obstacles such as lifts, ziplines, and tripwires, and expanded individual maps, allowing for multiple routes to reach the end. All missions now required Intel Pieces and had Daily Limit caps, forcing players to consider alternative methods to gathering certain resources or DNA fragments. The conditions to unlock Rush Mode were changed from simply meeting mission requirements, to playing a regular quest and earning 3 Stars for keeping all three Assassins alive by mission's end. Last, this update formally promoted the pending release of a limited-time Helix Event that would give players DNA and equipment for exclusive characters.[14] To the relief of many, developers reassured players that Helix Events would likely reoccur later for those who did not have a chance to earn all the rewards.[15]
On 8 August, Update 1.6.1 was released, introducing Helix Rift Challenges designed for a specific Role Specialization. Players could brilliantly complete missions to collect Stars and unlock valuable rewards. Additionally, the update made it possible to Rush Helix Rift missions, and various bug fixes and improvements were implemented.[16]
Update 1.7.0, released on 21 September, revealed The Ottoman Connection as the next Helix Event and introduced the Animus Challenges and Animus Boosts features in the Helix Events menu. Time-limited to a couple of days, Animus Challenges were an ever-changing set of optional tasks to complete that upon completion would reward players with Helix Credits and DNA Cube fragments. Animus Boosts are benefits that apply to various headquarters activities on certain days of the week and initially only lasted between the hours of 10 - 11 AM and 4 – 5 PM. In chronological order, the bonuses are:[17]
- Mondays: +25% Codex Rewards from standard missions
- Tuesdays: +25% Crafting Material Rewards from loot missions
- Wednesdays: +25% XP from all Codex
- Thursdays: 25% off crafting coin cost
On 5 October 5, Update 1.7.1 was released, featuring the introduction of Animus Challenges, where players could complete diverse tasks within a time limit for extra rewards. The update also included new Animus Boosts, offering additional rewards or discounted HQ tasks during bonus hours, as well as a new Rift Event and Rift Challenges. The progression system for Heroes was revised, unlocking all Hero Skills at Rank 1 and improving them with the Hero’s Rank, while also increasing Heroes' Stats gain on Rank Up for a more intuitive and balanced progression between Role Specializations in the Power Score.[16]
Version 2.0.0 (2018–2021)[edit | edit source]
On 11 October, the open beta was announced to be in its final stages and that players could pre-register for the game's full release on 21 November 2018 in order to earn exclusive rewards.[18] From 21 – 30 November, inclusive, any players who had pre-registered for early access could claim their rewards, which were based on the total number of users registered. Any previous reward tiers would be added to their account as they were unlocked:[19][20]
- 5,000 coins and 300 Helix credits (500,000 players)
- 10 DNA Cube Tokens and the Ritualistic Xiphos (1,000,000 players)
- 10,000 coins, 20 DNA Cube Tokens, and the Myrmidon Spear (2,000,000 players)
- Players could add Mario Auditore to their team (3,000,000 players)
By 7 November, the necessary two million users had registered to unlock the third reward tier,[20] and by 16 November, all rewards had been unlocked.[21] For players who had already downloaded the game, thus bypassing the need to pre-register, the developers assured that they would only need play the game any time between the aforementioned dates in order to claim the rewards.[22] It was during this time that the Animus Premium Access subscription was revealed. For the monthly fee of $9 USD, or the equivalent in the regional currency, players could further their game progression by earning a 20% increase on Daily Login and Daily Objective rewards, 20% faster regeneration rate of Rift Tokens, and 20% faster timers in all headquarter rooms.[23] As part of a promotion celebrating the release of Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, Alexios and Kassandra were added to the Hero roster.[24] Between that, on 9 November, the next major version, Update 2.0.0 was released marking the official addition of the Animus Premium Access subscription as well as some revision Sync Bonus Heroes and various other fixes, optimizations and improvements. The only update notes for 2.0.1 (16 November) and 2.0.2 (4 December) were simply that the game was officially available worldwide and to stay tuned.[16]

Alongside these additions, the update included various visual improvements and bug fixes.[16]

Additionally, players had the opportunity to recruit two new Heroes, Najma Alayza and Muza ben Abel Gazan.

Another small big fix update came on 21 May.[16]
Launched on 30 July, Update 2.5.0 enabled players to unlock Region 5, concluding the Spanish Assassins' narrative by pursuing Diego de Alvarado, Tomás de Torquemada, and the Staff of Eden's final components.

Additionally, players gained access to a new Elite Training Room, tier 5 and Legendary Gear Items with new Crafting Materials, an improved Rush Mode, the ability to reach Brotherhood level 50, new difficulty tiers for enhanced rewards in Helix Rift Events and Helix Rift Challenges, and upgrades for HQ rooms.[16] August's 2.5.1 update contained minor bug fixes.[25]

A feature originally meant to be included in the previous update, Animus Bounties are sets of 10 daily Missions that players can play for additional rewards. The Power requirements increase with each Mission, meaning the stronger a player's Hero roster is, the further they will be able to progress. Each day of the week includes different rewards and different Hero Class requirements to complete the Missions, with Sundays including multiple Bounties to participate in. The missions are free to play, however, failed Missions will require 10 Helix Credits to retry. Missions can only be completed once per day. In the same update, the crafting material for Murat Bin Husn's sword Branded Kilij was changed from ruby to malachite. Similarly, the Tier 5 weapons' crafting material for Luis Chico and Apollodorus were changed from Toledo steel to Damascus steel.[28] On 2 October, Adéwalé was announced to be added as a new playable hero in a re-run of Echoes Through the Animus starting October 22.[29] On 5 October, leading up to the release of Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, the official Assassin's Creed: Rebellion Twitter account posted a single photo of a Viking shield and ivory horn on a pile of snow.[30] In mid-October, the account posted a gif of the game's Assassin insignia logo colored cyan against a stone wall surrounded by embers, and revealed that new content related to Valhalla would arrive in November to coincide with the main game's release.[31] A minor update for some fixes was released on 19 October.[25] On 27 October, the account posted a picture of Aguilar blowing the horn, as if "summoning" the upcoming Valhalla content.[32]
Two days later, the account posted a gif of a longship sailing at night under the northern lights and announced that the Valhalla-themed content would be a new Helix Rift Event titled The Ravens' Wound, which would last from 19–24 November.[33] On 5 November, five days before Valhalla's release, the account posted a picture of two silhouetted figures on either side a wooden Odin statue and announced that two new heroes would be added to players' rosters;[34] the next day, the figures were revealed to be both the female and male versions of Eivor.[35] Both Eivors' skills and weapons information were posted to the Ubisoft forums on 12[36] and 13 November, respectively.[37] Version 2.12.0 was later released on 17 November.[25] On 30 November, Rebellion's Helix Rift schedule for the month of December was released, which notably featured a "mega-event" that would unlock a new hero as Echoes Through the Animus aired over the Christmas break.[38] During this time, in celebration of the game's second anniversary, players received an in-game mail that gifted them with 200 Helix Credits.[39]
Shortly after on 3 December, Rebellion's Discord server surpassed 10,000 members, and in celebration, developers gifted players with an in-game mail delivery[40][41] of 35,000 coins.[42] On 11 December, a bigger picture of the silhouetted hero for Echoes Through the Animus was posted to Twitter,[43] before it was revealed as Evie Frye on 15 December.[44] Her skills and weapon details were posted on the Ubisoft forum two days later.[45] A minor fix came on 21 December.[25]
In celebration of the New Year, Rebellion's Helix Rift schedule for January 2021 was released on 31 December 2020. Like December, it also featured a new hero in a mega-event at the month's end, this time in The Mask of the Ibis.[46] On 8 January, 2021, a bigger picture of the silhouetted hero for The Mask of the Ibis was posted to Twitter,[47] before it was revealed as Cleopatra on 11 January.[48] Her skills and weapon details were posted to the Ubisoft forums three days later.[49]
Version 3.0.0 (2021–2026)[edit | edit source]
On 29 January, Rebellion's Helix Rift schedule for the month of February was released. In the developer's notes, they said that while there would be no new hero that month, Update 3.0.0 would be coming in March and more information would be revealed in time.[50]
A week later on 4 February, Rebellion's Twitter account posted details on the next update and a teaser image, announcing that a new campaign mode would be included featuring missions from the Valhalla tie-in Helix Event The Ravens' Wound, and that six new heroes would be added to the roster.[51] Over the next few weeks, the heroes were gradually revealed to be Bogi Three-Fingers,[52] Dalla Aegirsdottir,[53] Guthlaugr Stone-Eye,[54] Jora Blood-Shoulder,[55] Valka,[56] and Basim ibn Ishaq.[57]
On 4 March, it was announced that the next update would be available the next week on 9 March, and that details were already posted on the Ubisoft forums.[58] Besides giving the skills and concept models for the six heroes as well as a new weapon, the largest change would be a new gameplay feature called Campaign Mode. Made up of a repeating cycle of The Ravens' Wound missions now titled Norway, 872 CE, completing the levels would reward players with DNA fragments for any two of the six new Heroes, with difficulty increasing as players beat successive entries. Notably, however, a player's roster for a single completed mission would be locked from further use in Campaign Mode, encouraging players to quickly level up their other heroes and to maximize the abilities of what heroes they had in order to earn as many DNA fragments as possible. As an additional difficulty, all heroes were required to survive the mission, else it would be automatically failed. Heroes could be unlocked for future use in Campaign Mode by spending Sync Tokens, though the mission would have to be replayed with a new roster and the Sync Token cost rose with every successive desynch.[59] Apollodorus was also added as a Hero in the interim in a rerun of The Mask of the Ibis.[60]
Except for a patch on 24 March that fixed a number of bugs which could not be included in Update 3.0.0,[61] there would be no major developments until 13 April, when a silhouetted hero was announced for the upcoming megaevent during The Ravens' Wound at month's end,[62] before it was revealed as Sigurd Styrbjornsson two days later.[63] His skills and weapon details were posted on the Ubisoft forums five days later, on 20 April.[64]
On 3 May, Rebellion's Helix Rift schedule for the rest of the month, with developers adding that a new hero would be released at the end during the Echoes Through the Animus Event.[65] On 11 May, a picture of the silhouetted hero was posted to Twitter,[66] before it was revealed as Jacob Frye on 14 May.[67] His skills and weapon details were posted on the Ubisoft forum four days later.[68]
On 1 June, a picture of a beachside merchant stall was posted to Twitter, teasing a new Campaign that would debut later that month, featuring the return of Edward Kenway as he helped the crew of the Sea Dog's Bite recover a ship captured by rival pirates.[69] Like with the Campaign Mode set in Norway, the promotions for the new Campaign also had a number of new heroes. Over the next few weeks, the heroes were gradually revealed to be the pirate Irekanni,[70] the merchant Jibral Bin Said,[71] the scholar Heloise,[72] the French adventurer Jacquotte Jolicoeur[73] and her father Ivo,[74] and King Leonidas I of Sparta.[75] All of their database entries and skills were posted to the Ubisoft forums on 17 June along with the developer notes for Update 3.1.0, which also stated that the new in-game feature of a Helix Event calendar function meant future monthly schedules would no longer be shared online.[76]
After reports surfaced of a leaderboard glitch during an earlier rerun of The Ottoman Connection, developers announced on 28 June that a patch would be implemented in Update 3.1.1 and offered all players a compensation of 100 Rift Tokens.[77] On 5 July, Rebellion's Twitter account passed 10,000 followers, and to celebrate the milestone, developers gave players a reward of 20,000 coins and 20 intel.[78] The next day, a new silhouetted figure was posted online for the upcoming rerun of The Hunter's Hounds,[79] and as players attempted to guess the identity, Update 3.1.1 was released as promised,[80] then was followed on 7 July with the reveal that the hero was Alkibiades.[81] His database entry and skills were posted to the Ubisoft forums a week later.[82] Also at this time, Rebellion's Discord server surpassed 15,000 members, and in celebration again, developers gifted players with 15,000 coins and 30 intel.[83] Over the next month, a patch was released 22 July with Update 3.1.2,[84] and players both received a third summer reward of 20,000 coins on 3 August in celebration of the season,[85] before another patch was released a week later in Update 3.1.3, which fixed two major issues concerning incorrect DNA Cube rewards and a soft-locking glitch.[86]
On 23 August, a new image of an Italian domed cathedral was posted to Twitter, teasing another Campaign that would debut later in September. According to developers, it would follow Claudia Auditore as she recovered weapons in Naples for Ezio and his mercenaries to use in the liberation of Rome from Rodrigo Borgia and his family's hold on power.[87] As before, the Campaign also had new heroes, and over the next few weeks they were gradually revealed to be the seamstress Elena Niccolini,[88] the former Inquisitor knight Grazia,[89] the mercenary Tosca Yayal-Ricci,[90] the Venitian courtesan Teodora Contanto,[91] the mercenary Bartolomeo d'Alviano,[92] and the Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci,[93] with da Vinci's signature weapon Vibrant Palette also being revealed later on 14 September.[94] All of their database entries and skills were posted the next day to the Ubisoft forums in the developer notes for Update 3.2.0.[95]
With the exception of five more missions being announced for the Norway Campaign on 14 October and delayed a day later,[96] there would be no news until 18 October, when Update 3.2.1 was announced.[97] The update included some minor bug fixes, the release of Missions 26-30 for the Norway campaign, as well as a teased Halloween special surprise.[98] A week later, a silhouetted figure was posted online[99] before being revealed on 27 October as La Volpe, who could be unlocked in the upcoming rerun of A War in the Shadows.[100]
On 2 November, Rebellion's social media posted a picture marking the start of Diwali and said that players could earn daily rewards over the next five days in celebration of the holiday.[101] On 30 November, Missions 26-30 were added to the Caribbean Campaign.[102] Randvi was added in early December during a rerun of The Ravens' Wound.[103]
Update 3.2.2, released on 10 January 2022, added Facebook connectivity as well as the ability to invite friends to play. Another feature was the Elite Training Happy Hour, during which Elite Training Coins would be 15% off on every Friday.[104] A week later, Hytham was added to the Heroes.[105] After being teased in early February,[106] Ratonhnhaké:ton was added with Update 3.3.0 in an Echoes Through the Animus rerun.[104]
March and April saw only two minor updates. First teased in early May,[107] Arno Dorian was added to the Heroes list in Update 3.4.0 later that month. From June to September, only three minor fixes were issued[104] and four new heroes added, with Xenia added mid-June in a rerun of The Hunter's Hounds, Lorenzo de' Medici being first teased in early July before his mid-month debut,[108] and both Hippokrates and Sokrates in late September.[109]
First announced on 8 November,[110] Update 3.5.1 released on 14 November[111] and saw the introduction of a new Roguelike Gauntlet Event and the "Mentor Ezio" character. In this event, players assembled a team of three Heroes to tackle up to 10 randomized missions, each growing progressively challenging. The update allowed customization of gameplay by creating optimal Boon combinations to enhance Heroes and facilitate progression. Players could engage in leaderboard competitions to acquire DNA Fragments for Mentor Ezio from Assassin's Creed: Revelations and play missions to earn Gauntlet Cube Tokens for the opportunity to recruit four new Heroes.[104] The update also introduced four new Gauntlet-exclusive heroes, Hipparkhia, Chimalmat, Jock MacRae, and Gunnar.[112]
The next pushed updates were in January and March 2023 that only fixed minor issues.[104] There was also a celebration in late November for the game's fifth anniversary, during which time players could earn daily rewards from 24 – 26 November.[113] The game received a minor patch to fix some bugs in the form of Update 3.5.6 in March 2024.[114] After months of occasional bug fixes, Update 3.6.0 was released on 24 April 2025 and saw the addition of Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke from the then-recently released Assassin's Creed: Shadows. Their Tier 5 weapons were also included. The update coincided with a new app store icon and social media profile pictures.[115]
