Assassin's Creed 2 DLC Trailer & Info, Reasonably Priced Too!
Written Wednesday, December 16, 2009 by Dan Webb "www.x360a.org"
Ubisoft today detailed, priced and released a trailer on their planned downloadable content for Jan & Feb 2010. As expected, it's to be the two missing sequences from the main game.
The Battle of Forli, coming January, tells the story of the Machiavelli and Caterina Sforza and their defence of the city of Forli from the Orsi family. Ezio will act behind the lines doing what he does best... being an assassin from the shadows. The DLC will cost $3.99 (around 320 Microsoft points) and will cover 6 memories that see the return of Da Vinci's flying machine and a mission involving the Piece of Eden.
The Bonfire of the Vanities, due February, takes Ezio back to the city of Florence to free the region of the reign of the mad monk, Savonarola. Presumerably, the game will take players over the southern bridge to the locked region of Florence and is said to offer 10 memories and even give Ezio a new "spring-jump" ability. The content is priced at $4.99 (around 400 Microsoft points).
This doesn't necessarily mean that the sequences were cut from the game, before anyone brings that up. Planning a game with DLC from the off appears to be the new thing in the industry these days. I suppose they need something to work on after the game has been submitted for certification though. Either way... it's more Assassin's Creed 2!
Check out the latest trailer for the episodes from Ubisoft below.
