The Lunar New Year, also known as Spring Festival, is the most important holiday in China, but over the last few years, it has become increasingly popular in the world of video games.
Given the importance of the Chinese market, many video game developers and publisher are holding in-game events during this period, themed around the Chinese new year, with special skins and cosmetics designed to resemble Chinese culture and tradition.
This is true for digital video game stores as well, with events like Steam Lunar New Year Sale, or Lunar Sale on Ubisoft Connect.
To celebrate the start of Lunar Sale on Ubisoft Connect, Ubisoft is giving away a free copy of Assassin's Creed Chronicles China, one of the spinoff games from the "Chronicles" series, which are sub-series of video games in the Assassin's Creed franchise.
