Return To The Skies, Kill More Dudes In Assassin’s Creed II DLC
Ubisoft has released more details about the Assassin’s Creed II DLC that will be made available early next year. Each of the two downloads includes a new memory sequence containing a number of individual missions.
The first, Sequence 12: Battle for Forli, will be ready for download at the end of January for $3.99 on the PlayStation 3, which works out to about 320 Microsoft Points. The sequence gives Ezio the chance to team up with Niccolo Machiavelli and Caterina Sforza as they fight to defend Forli from the Orsi Brothers in a series of six new memories. Along the way, players will have to perform a rescue and work to prevent the Templars from acquiring the Piece of Eden. Leonardo appears to have perfected his flying machine, too, since Ezio will be able to use it to travel across Romagna in daylight without the hassle of lighting torches in advance.
Sequence 13: Bonfire of the Vanities will be available in late February for $4.99, or about 400 Microsoft Points. Once again, Ezio will get to pal around with Machiavelli. This time, however, they’re working to free Florence from mad monk Savonarola, who is controlling a number of important citizens. Most interestingly this DLC adds the spring-jump, a new move in Ezio’s free-running arsenal.
Each download is supposed to weigh in at a hefty 1 GB. We haven’t heard from Ubisoft if the DLC will add any new uPlay functionality, either with new ways to earn points or things to unlock, but we’ll let you know if we do hear anything interesting.
