The newest set of patch notes for Assassin's Creed Origins are out now with several DLC bugfixes and an extension of the horde mode's progression.

There aren't any striking gameplay changes to take note of in Patch 1.2.1, a patch with a release date of Jan. 30, but if you've been encountering some frustrating glitches during your adventures across ancient Egypt, you'll hopefully see less of those now. This patch is full of squashed bugs and other fixes, and animations for various characters were also improved.

As for the horde mode, player feedback has also been taken into account with the resulting change to allow players to progress beyond wave 16. This change and all the rest were outlined in the official patch notes found below.
