Ubisoft has released a brand new update for Assassin’s Creed Origins. This latest patch will update your game’s version to 1.21 and comes with some fixes and tweaks, as well as adjustments to the progression system in the Horde Mode.

Going into more details, this patch fixes various issues where quest objectives would not properly update, scales down the enemies level progression in Horde Mode, so players are able to progress post-wave 16 and improves various playable character animations.

This patch also comes with two PC-specific changes. Patch 1.21 adds Save Results button on Benchmark Results page and fixes an issue when the game remains in the background processes of Task Manager after closing it using Alt+F4.

This patch will be auto-downloaded from UPLAY the next time you launch its client, and you can find its full release notes below.
