DLC

[Mr White Wizard]

If I purchase this on Steam as opposed to UPLAY, will I be locked out of any DLC? Same goes for any other AC game?

For Unity I believer there are 4 DLC:

Revolutionary Armaments Pack
Dead Kings - story expansion
Secrets of the Revolution Pack
Underground Armory Pack

Are they all available for the steam version?

The Dead Kings and Underground Armory Pack were added to the base game for free in an update, this should be the same for both Steam and Uplay versions, and if you're downloading the game for the first time, it should be included in that too.

However, if like me, you happen to be a UK resident using the UK version of Steam, then I'm afraid you will not be able to access the Armaments Pack or the Secrets of the Revolution pack, because it is locked off from the region, for some reason which I'm not sure why. It might be because AC: Unity itself wasn't listed on the UK Steam store for some time either.

Because of this, AC:Unity is the only AC game on Steam which is not featured in my game library. While this gap in games is annoying, the only way to my knowledge of playing the game with all the DLCs is by purchasing the Uplay version and accompanying DLC content on the Ubisoft store. My hopes are that Steam might eventually add the DLC to the store, and then I'll purchase the Steam version too (while it's on a sale though, I don't want to be paying a full price tag for another copy), just so I can keep all my AC games centralised.

Hope that helps.

Thank you, for your detailed and helpful response. I'm UK and had ordered, but have since refunded. I may pick up on UPLAY.

Only on the second game though, having skipped them on their original release.

No worries, I'm currently messing around with Origins right now, but I plan to have a serious playthrough of the series soon, taking it slow, embracing the story, collecting all the collectibles, and achieving 100% overall. To help myself with this, I recently spent a good amount of time researching how to maximise the DLCs in my perfectionist/completionist playthrough. So, if you need any help with DLC in the other games too, just let me know (the Wikia pages online about the downloadable content is a good resource too). :)
