Darunter gehören zum Beispiel drei Bugs, die einen Absturz des Spiels zur Folge haben sollen - vielleicht konnte es der ein oder andere ja bereits bei seiner frühzeitig zugeschickten Version von Assassin‘s Creed 3 erleben. Gleichzeitig wurden einige Missionen verändert, sodass man diese mit voller Synchronisation beenden kann. Wie bereits zudem bekannt war, wird dieses Update ebenfalls die Möglichkeit bieten gegen zusätzliche Ausgaben bestimmte Items für den Multiplayer-Part (sogenannte Microtransaktionen) zu erwerben.
