In addition to that, the Steam files of the game also got updated with the DLC as well.

As for the Mask of Darkness, Ubisoft says it “will introduce a new, darker world to explore.” One other key addition we’re expecting is the triple weapon pool, which lets players select a weapon at the start” and yes, adding new weapons.

Here’s what Evil Empire, the studio handling the updates and DLC has said about the weapon changes:

Weapons update

Right now there is quite a limited weapon pool, and the weapons themselves don’t encourage many different playstyles.

This will change with a sizeable expansion of the weapon pool, I mean we’re talking triple the amount of weapons in-game. This includes a rework of how the existing weapons work too, so don’t get too comfortable.

Different weapons will encourage different playstyles like rushing enemies, crowd control or getting timings right. This should put more decision-making and strategy in your hands, especially when combined with what our later updates will bring.

Chances are, we’ll get the patch notes come September 17, and we’ll update the article with the info once it’s out. If you’ve yet to play the game, that’s a big mistake! Our review is here where we state, “Taking Prince of Persia and mixing it with the Metroidvania genre was a brilliant move, as the gameplay and abilities from the series mesh very well with this style, and it makes me hope this is only the beginning of this franchise’s foray into this new direction and is not just a one-off experience.”
