Aecesaje_ Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Just a heads up. If you want to 100% this game but you don't want to spent money in the DLC because it is overpriced, create a Hong Kong account, the DLC is free there. Here's the link: https://store.playstation.com/en-hk/product/UP0001-BLUS30537_00-ASIADAVINCIDISAP I don't know if this is a bug but I would recommend to grab the DLC 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellcoreFire Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hasn't this always been free? I think I got it for free when I bought the game back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the DLC has a price tag in the EU and US. But in HK it says that its free. You probably got the DLC for free with a special version of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a EU physical copy of the game and the DLC worked just fine for me when I did this trick. Edited August 24, 2018 by Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably something to do with the server rather then the region. But i did find this post on PST.org"Ok guys, i got a free trial for the Hong Kong account I created & after a lot of trying I can confirm it works. You just have to play the game through your Hong Kong account, go to Downloadable Content, click, you get redirected to the store and FROM THERE you download and install the DLC. It doesn't work if you download and install them directly from the store. Works perfectly fine on my other accounts" 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel-ECB Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) I can confirm that "The Lost Archive" for Revelations works, also the Animus Project Update 3.0 is avaible after installing the dlc, so i guess the Da Vinci missions are avaible. (USA region, The Ezio Trilogy tested) using the in-game store menu. Edited October 23, 2019 by Daniel-ECB Added more info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partik24 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) How can you verify a chinese account nowadays? It makes you use a chinese phone number to finish verifying your account. Edit: Nvm, I was supposed to make a Hong Kong account, not a Mainland China account Edited July 17, 2022 by Partik24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalimLagrichi Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Hello, I was just wondering if anyone has been able to download the DLC for free from the Hong Kong store recently, because every time I try to download I get the error code: 80029780. Things I have tried. 1) Created a Hong Kong account on PC, set it up on PS3, proceeded to activate it then went onto AC Brotherhood and tried to download the DLC from in game and it did not work. 2) Created a Hong Kong account on PC, set it up on PS3, proceeded to activate it then went onto the Hong Kong PS Store and tried to download the DLC from there and it did not work. 3) Created a Hong Kong account on PS3, proceeded to activate it then went repeated both steps above. 4) I noticed the DLC says only compatible with the AC Heritage Collection, I bought the AC Heritage collection and still nothing.. If anyone has a solution please let me know. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has a solution please let me know. Thanks. Ive been able to get it for free around July 14. I needed to try many many hours of trying the different versions too. Finally for me it was the version where the image on the package has No ‘Add-on’ stamp on it in blue. So the ones with Add-on for me didnt work. Im not 100% sure but I think they are under the heritage collection main game. If its not working try to download them from the store not ingame, contrary to some of the guides that say it’s got to be done that way.

jonesey46 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 For anyone trying this with an EU copy in 2023. I downloaded the DLC from the store and it didn't work. I can't seem to see the two versions, as in the EU and US version, on the Hong Kong store, there's only one version that says 'english version' Anyway I booted the game up whilst logged into my HK account, went to the additional content bit, downloaded the Da Vinci DLC from there and it worked straight away when I logged back into my normal account. My guess is the store no longer has those two versions but going to the store from the game, it recognises what version of the game you have and shows you the relevant DLC. Hope this helps someone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
