The DLC was reportedly developed thanks to a deal between Ubisoft and the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund

, the national wealth fund of Saudi Arabia. Ubisoft declined to comment when asked by Eurogamer back in January.

The Public Investment Fund is part of Saudi Arabia’s ongoing attempt to diversify income for the oil-rich nation, as well as a dedicated push to improve its global image. Saudi Arabia has been criticised heavily for its history of human rights abuses, and blamed for the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Only last week, the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund was part of a three-way bid to turn Electronic Arts private for $55bn. If approved, the American games industry giant will be saddled with $20bn in debt in 2027.
