PUBG’s big new August update has arrived, and it allows players to dress up as Assassin’s Creed hero Ezio in the popular battle royale game. The August update also introduces a new sniper rifle and kicks off the new Survivor Pass Vol. 10, among other things.
The Assassin’s Creed crossover, which was announced a while back, begins today and runs through September 22. During this time players can dress up as not only Ezio, but also Shay Patrick Cormac from Assassin’s Creed: Rogue. In total, there are more than 30 Assassin’s Creed-themed costumes, weapon skins, and items to unlock via special events inside New State.

Outside of the Assassin’s Creed crossover, the August update for New State adds the New State Labs, which is a hub for “experimental content.” New features and settings will be tested in New State Labs before they roll out publicly for everyone. The first of these is Akinta: Bounty Royale, which features matches of 36 players fighting it out on the new map, Akinta, and the goal is to compete for a prize instead of simply trying to survive–that’s all we know right now, however.
