Ubisoft will release tomorrow a brand new patch for Assassin’s Creed Origins. According to the release notes, the Assassin’s Creed Origins update 1.2.0 will bring new features such as the possibility to sell-back outfits to the Weaver shops and the option to toggle the visibility of inventory items on the Gear menu.

Furthermore, this new patch will improve overall stability, will improve various cinematic transitions (here is hoping that the cinematic will not look as choppy as they look now), fix a number of gameplay issues, and will improve Performance Metrics graphs functionality.

Moreover, the Assassin’s Creed Origins patch 1.2.0 will fix the game freeze issues after minimizing all tabs in Windows 7, as well as various infinite loadings and black screen hangs. This patch will also balance the audio volume level in different areas, will bring some PC User Interface tweaks, and will fix several areas where the playable character could go through collisions.

This patch will be auto-downloaded from Steam and UPLAY once it becomes available tomorrow, January 16th. The Steam patch will be 2.6GB in size whereas the UPLAY patch will be 1.2GB in size. Below you can find the complete changelog for this new patch.
