From Ubisoft:
For the Creed Throwback Event
This Assassin’s Creed inspired throwback event will run from April 23-May 14, during which an error in the Animus will throw Heroes into a battle between Assassin and Templar. The Assassin e Templari game mode is a modified Dominion mode played on the Citadel Gate, River Fort, and Beachhead maps. Each team needs to capture lanes to summon a commander, either Ezio Auditore or Cesare Borgia, and earn points by defeating the enemy commander. Taking out a commander nets your team 300 points, so don’t forget to protect yours as you mount the attack.
The event pass features:
-
Throwback content
-
38 Assassin’s Creed themed weapons
-
Leaderboard
-
Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Valhalla, and Classic landing pages, each lasting one week
