    Irekanni, the Unwavering Rebel!



    Born in the Oyo Kingdom of Western Africa, sometime in the late 17th century, Irekanni had a troubled childhood. Over-strict parents forced a rebellious streak to develop in her from a young age and she frequently got into trouble. Things came to a head when her father forced her into an unwanted marriage with an abusive husband. She killed the man and, although it was in self defense, was jailed for the crime and sold to be shipped overseas. Irekanni ended up at a sugar cane plantation in Haiti, where conditions were atrocious and the taskmasters were brutal. She kept quiet for a time, almost broken by the betrayal of her family and people, but she had always coveted freedom above all things. Within a year of her arrival, Irekanni secretly organized an uprising of the plantation’s field workers. They killed their overseers and the plantation owner, and then sailed for the freedom of the open sea. It was in Nassau that Irekanni met Mary Read, who sensed a kindred spirit in the towering tribeswoman. She introduced Irekanni to the creed and easily convinced her to join in their fight against the oppressive Templars. After the fall of Nassau, she continued to operate in the Caribbean and Atlantic, disrupting the slave trade and damaging Templar control of the region.

In the years that followed, Heloise became employed as a teacher for the children of English families in a small integrated town in Jamaica. She cared deeply for the children in her school and worked diligently to protect them and pass on her education. After witnessing a murder near her school and having to defend her children from Templar harassment, Heloise had no choice but to take on a life of combat to protect her young ones. She was introduced to the Assassin Order by one of her patrons and they taught her the subtle art of Assassination.

Two years later, Jibral’s parents were murdered by the Templars after a man named Cade, a supposed close friend of the family, made a deal with the Order. Jibral was allowed to live, however, and soon made a life for himself as a traveling merchant, hoping to find information on Cade’s whereabouts.

In his time he was a capable trader, thief, privateer, soldier, and most notably a gambler, able to swindle money from even the finest scoundrels.

    This update also includes further optimizations that should reduce the amount of crashes some players have been experiencing in their games.

    The following community-reported issues were fixed in this update:

    • Fixed an issue where bonus stats no longer applied to Stealth and Air Assassinations
    • Fixed the Nimble Opponent Skill (Rank 5) to now roll a 25% chance of dodge increase once at the start of combat against a single opponent
    • Fixed an issue where an exclamation mark appeared on Heroes even when there was no better Gear Item to equip
    • Fixed an issue where a softlock occurred after killing an enemy using a skill with a bleed or poison effect before a cutscene
    • Fixed the Wise Council health bonus so that it stacks with other similar bonuses
    • Fixed the Wise Council accuracy bonus to be passive instead of lasting for only a single Tick
    • Fixed multiple instances where the blue Animus background appeared when navigating between various menu screens


    Version 3.1.0 is set to launch on June 22nd, though it may take up to 24 hours for the update to appear on your Store.

    We can't wait for you to play our new Campaign and hear your feedback!

    Hi Dear Ubi-Bunny

    Wow, update 3.0.1 is coming with absolutely amazing content

    The in-game Helix Rift Calendar is definitely a cool innovation

    The maps in the new Campaign Missions look great, I'm looking forward to them

    Wow, It's So Perfect, I like it a lot, Thank you so much for it :"We've added music from AC IV: Black Flag to this Campaign so you're going to want to play with the sound on!"

    Thanks a lot for this bug fix, it was absolutely perfect "Fixed an issue where bonus stats no longer applied to Stealth and Air Assassinations"

    Abstergo Rewards innovations and ranking heroes from low power to high power are absolutely amazing innovations

    Ivo and Jacquotte will make a great team and I think King Leonidas will definitely be a rank S hero

    I'm glad Leonidas is a Legendary AOE, maybe he's a better AOE hero than Rodrigo de Mendoza, it's definitely worth testing in the future

    Endless Thanks to you Dear Ubi-Bunny and Dear ACR Team for this Amazing Update

    Best regards

    Let's see:
    Irekanni: Tank axe, there's no tank axe
    Heloise: Support hidden blades, no support hidden blades
    Jibral: Stealth large sword, there's no stealth large sword
    Ivo: Navigation hammer. Nope, no navigation hammer yet (joining Alonso in that waiting area)
    Jacquotte: Disarm sword, no disarm sword still (well at least she can use a xiphos like Mary)
    And there's Leonidas who even if he didn't get a legendary could still use an aoe class t5 polearm

    I am really happy for a new content, but that Tier 5 support "axe" is awful lol How you're supposed to swing that? Natakas, it seems, couldn't decide if he wanted an axe or a sword :P

    Will you add Unity content in the future? I wish I could play Élise, one of my favourite ones

    Good point! So we are gifted 3 missing weapons (including sword/axe of nightmares) and gaining 5 more holes... 😅

    At least it seems that the campaign missions are new! And with Black Flag music! Yay! 😁

    So I will start with elephant in the room - new heroes and their missing gear. Yes it is nice to have 3 new weapons for existing heroes (eventhough Natakas greatswod/axe hybrid is completely impractical design that would never work in combat).

    But what is the point when you add 5 new heroes when everyone of them is missing at least 1 pice of 5* equip
    Irekanni - tank axe
    Heloise - support hidden blades
    Jibral - stealth greatsword and medium armor (Maximo - I dont have it since 2.5.0 patch)
    Ivo - freerunning hammer (Alonso is also looking for this weapon)
    Jacquotte - disarm sword (yeah she can use 5* greek sword but that is not good replacement)

    Another thing with 5* gear - it is nice to give some heroes missing 5* gear but what about legendary heroes like Rodrigo and Ishak - they dont even have acces to class armors of their weight category. Legendary heroes should get missing pieces 1st and not common heroes.
    Yes more 5* in future sounds nice but that could be from 2 months to 3 years untill everyone will have full 5* gear (as we in Czech say - slibem nezarmoutíš - you will not grieve with a promise) but I will hope this will be solved soon - even for new heroes.

    New characters
    Irekanni
    1 time lower dmg recived + giving some back 4 times, taunt to make enemy angry, more HP + def and faster in suply room - not bad for common hero
    Heloise
    assassination, AOE attack, initiative and faster promotion to anybody - interesting mix but I am affraid it will make her quite weak (even for common)
    Jibral
    better dex, stealth, free attack and faster gethering gold - stealth or 1 or 2 shoting enemy will be probably his job
    Ivo
    stun, freerunning, stealth, shadow mentor a dmg to enemy + buff himself - I must say he look interesting. With 5* hammer he could be hidden gem.
    Jacquotte
    disarm, dodge, lockpick, attack and dodge buff (Tactical Strike = Basim skill) and faster in library - I love when hero has lockpick + disarm and with some ET in dodge she could probably went through some fights without reciving single hit.

    Leonidas - Spartan king in Caribbean campaign... - he could be easily reward from resurected Spears for Hire and legendary hero from Cribbean campaing could be Anne Bonny. + it is quite sad in his bio are mentioned Aya and Bayek and not his grandkids Kass and Alexios.
    loose HP to gain attack, less dmg from next hit, stun, more dmg when facing more enemies (great for AOE), more XP from training to other hero, AOE attack and self buff.

    BUT - where is his famous kick? I know it is mostly only from movie - but Hérodotos in his Histories describe how Athenians throw Darius envoys into gorge and Spartans throw envoys to well. + when it is in AC Odyssey and Alexios has this skill in ACR.
    + I hope his weapon Spear of Leonidas give him same skill as Kass and Alexios have - skill Spear of Leonidas that boost their attack.


    New calendar
    It would be nice to have it in the game but I will miss calendar post that I could save and look at it at PC without starting game at mobile.
