Assassin’s Creed Origins December update brings new difficulty mode

An Assassin’s Creed Origins December update will add a new difficulty mode on top of a Horde mode quest, Ubisoft recently confirmed.

Here’s what to expect from the title:

• Nightmare mode: a new Nightmare difficulty level will be available. The enemies will become more resilient to damages and more dangerous.
• Enemy scaling: by popular request, we will add the enemy scaling option. When this option is activated, the game automatically scale the lower level enemies to your level.
  Nightmare and First Civ pack items will be available in the Heka Chest.
• A new quest introducing Horde mode. The event quest, Here Comes a New Challenger, will introduce you to Horde mode to satisfy your warrior longings. You can prove yourself in the Cyrene arena against unlimited waves of foes. We recommend Level 32 or higher.
• A new surprise quest!

This is in addition to battles with Gods Sekhmet, Anubis and Sobek (the two latter Gods are returning after chances to best them in November, by the way), and new weapons and outfits.

Assassin’s Creed: Origins is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
