Assassin's Creed Unity: Dead Kings is the major story expansion to Assassin's Creed Unity

While the main game takes place in the bustling streets of Paris, Dead Kings moves the action to the gloomy, rain-soaked town of Saint-Denis. The atmosphere is markedly darker and more gothic than the base game.

Whether you play it via a legal copy on Steam or the legacy RELOADED crack from your hard drive, Arno Dorian’s trip to the underworld of Saint-Denis stands as a testament to the best DLC the franchise ever produced.

Released as a free apology to players in January 2015 following the game’s disastrous launch, Dead Kings was intended to mend fences. Unlike the main game’s focus on political upheaval, Dead Kings shifts genres entirely. It is a gothic, claustrophobic horror-tinged adventure set in the catacombs beneath Paris.

While the main game captures the chaos of the French Revolution, Dead Kings shifts the tone significantly. The story is set in 1794, shortly after the events of the main campaign. Arno, feeling disillusioned and weary, travels to Franciade—the burial site of French royalty.
