During the free weekend, players will have access to all of the Standard Edition content in each game. In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, you’ll be able to swing a pair of axes (or any other weapon, really) as the Viking warrior Eivor, and establish a new home for your people in ninth-century England. In Assassin’s Creed II, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, and Assassin’s Creed Revelations, you’ll play through three tales of conspiracy and revenge as Ezio Auditore da Firenze in Renaissance-era Florence, Venice, Rome, and Constantinople. And Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag will set you loose to explore the Caribbean and plunder ships as the freewheeling pirate-turned-Assassin Edward Kenway, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Blackbeard and Anne Bonney.

The Free Weekend will also be an opportunity to earn in-game rewards by watching Assassin’s Creed games on participating Twitch livestreams.
