It’s being given away as part of Ubisoft’s 35th anniversary celebrations, which previously saw the company offer PC players free copies of Assassin’s Creed Chronicles Trilogy, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and Anno 1404 History Edition.

Ubisoft announced on Monday that its head of global game production was leaving the company.

Virginie Haas, who has served as Ubisoft’s chief studios operating officer for 16 months following three years as an independent director on its board, is departing “to pursue other activities”, the company said.
