Is it like the final story mission in the game, or is it some dumb optional trailing mission I would have skipped anyways?

Sounds like it's some side mission. I'm sure it's nothing important.

Probably a short bonus mission that provides nothing and will be made available in a compilation and for download at a later date like usual. I mean they've been doing this since forever. The only difference with this commercial is that it's self aware of how fucked up pre-order bonuses are >_>

I feel like every Ubisoft game has done this, and the missions are always ends up being shit that feels held together with glue and duct tape.

Like, the shit never even feels like legit cut content, it just feels like something someone threw together in an hour.

You should be mad about this regardless if you plan on buying AC Origins or the practice is "accepted"
Doing nothing is why we're now getting lockboxes for single player content now.

I haven't pre-ordered an Ubisoft game in over 6 years.

Hell, the only Ubisoft games I've bought in the past 10 years have been Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4.

People should have got upset 10 years ago.

Now all you can do is just not buy the game. Which you shouldn't. AC is shit.

Yeah, I remember shit like this being done in just about every AC game.

I remember the pre order bonus for Far Cry 3 being an extra mission, and all it ended up being was a bunker with a bear at the end. No story, not explanation. Just a bunker with a bear in it.
---

Remember when you used to get actual shit for pre-ordering games?

Like I want to say that I got a Four Dragons Membership Card for pre ordering GTA San Andreas

And I got Ocarina of Time and Master Quest for pre ordering Wind Waker I think.

Hell, I got a shirt I think for pre ordering True Crime: Streets of LA.
---

It'll probably end up being available for download for everyone after a certain point anyway.

Bump for night CE

Shadow of War makes you unlock the true ending by grinding or buying it.

Another way to phrase this: those who pre-order get a bonus mission.

It's not as offensive if presented that way, though.
