Legendary Sale on UbiSoft Connect:

Legendary Promo -> $10 off coupon when you spend over $19.99+ on a game w/ Promo code = LEGEND24.
Highlights - prices after $10 coupon (and before tax):
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown = $19.99.
AC Valhalla...
IIRC from Jason Schreier (spelling?), 70% of Arkane actually left during Redfall's development and they didn't want to make that kind of game (always-online looter-shooter of sorts with some imm-sim stuff) as they wanted to make straight-up imm-sims.
