We've decided to place Assassin's Creed Initiates in a continued state of maintenance during the holiday period.
The reasoning for this is to minimize the effect from outages to your experience during this time, as well as to allow us work on ensuring the technical stability of the platform.
Although AC Initiates will be in maintenance and thus unavailable to access via the web or console browsers, all gold Initiates chests are now unlocked in game for online players. You will receive an in game error message when attempting to access the ACI website from in-game due to the maintenance. This is expected behaviour, and will be addressed in a future update. However, you will have unrestricted access to all the chests with the golden ACI crest and the rewards within them.
Please note that you won't be able to access the gold Initiates chests if you are playing offline.
As always, you can find this update and the latest updates on our Live Updates Blog.
Finally, we want to thank you for your continued passion and feedback. We hope you have a pleasant holiday.
