Dead Kings is the first major expansion included in the Season Pass to an action adventure game entitled Assassin's Creed: Unity. This was developed by Ubisoft Montpellier.

The story of Dead Kings picks up after the original game ends. Arno leaves Paris for a small nearby town of Saint Denis. Here, instead of deserved rest, he gets involved in another intrigue, related to the so-called Raider faction, whose members are desecrating the catacombs under the town, where French monarchs were buried. The new adventure is very dark in nature – both in terms of visited locations and story.

Dead Kings lets you visit not only the town of Saint Denis, but also its network of catacombs. You spend a lot of time traversing through the underground necropolis with a lantern in hand, fighting off wild creatures living in the dark and solving riddles that lead you towards solving the mysteries surrounding the town. What is more, Arno has a new weapon at his disposal – Guillotine Gun – which may be described as an 18th-century grenade launcher combined with an axe.

USgamer: 3 / 5 by Mike Williams

Dead Kings brings back the challenge rooms from Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Revelations. That means a dark, dank underground setting full of platforming and puzzles. If puzzles aren't your thing, Arno's latest tale may not be for you. For everyone else, it's a solid, but unspectacular addition to Unity.

Metro GameCentral: 5 / 10 by Roger Hargreaves

It makes the stealth more interesting and there's a successful tonal shift from the main game, but free or not this expansion fails to improve on any of Unity's major problems.

Destructoid: 6.5 / 10 by Brett Makedonski

All in all, Dead Kings adds up to a package that's somewhat schizophrenic in nature. At times, it seems like both the story and the gameplay aren't quite sure where they want to go. Even more surprising, it kind of works. Anyone that knows Assassin's Creed will feel an innate familiarity with Dead Kings and maybe even a bit of excitement (particularly the last section, which conjures memories of a classic series moment). However, there's an air of freshness about it that works in some ways and falls flat in others. Dead Kings isn't likely to reignite anyone's love for Assassin's Creed, but it certainly won't extinguish any existing flames, either.
