The lights are on
Update: Ubisoft today confirmed details for the Assassin's Creed season pass. It includes five download content packs, including “The Tyranny of King George” single-player episodic campaign.
The Tyranny of King George spans three of the content packs episodically where players experience an alternate history of the events following the American Revolution.
Driven by the desire to secure the fate of the colonies, the greatest hero of the revolution, George Washington, succumbs to the temptation of infinite power. The new King is born and his reign leaves no one untouched. To return freedom to the land our new hero must dethrone a tyrant he once called friend.
The other two DLC includes new maps and characters for multiplayer.
The season pass costs 2400 Microsoft Points on Xbox live or $29.99 on PSN and PC, and is available within the first six month of the game's release. Ubisoft says the season pass offers a 25% discount if the content was purchased individually.

Original Story: A new trend over the past year in gaming sees publishers selling promises of download content to consumers at a reduced price. It's been confirmed one of this year's biggest titles, Assassin's Creed III, will have a "season pass" of download content as well.
We don't have any details just yet. An update on the PlayStation blog confirms the existence of a season pass through a pre-order listing for the Assassin’s Creed III Gold Edition on PlayStation Network. The retail price for the regular game is $59.99 and the Gold Edition, which includes the Season Pass, costs $89.99, suggesting the Season Pass costs the traditional $29.99 when sold separately.
Ubisoft would not comment any further on the season pass. When asked for additional details, a spokesperson told Game Informer, "We have no further details at this time but stay tuned."
Assassin's Creed III is out October 30 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The PC version releases November 20, and the Wii U version launches with the console on November 18.

I like the idea, it's separate from the campaign and is very interesting
I was already stoked for AC3, this just made me way more excited!
Interesting.
Interesting idea for sure
Now that everyone shut up about how horrible the season pass and AC multiplayer dlc are let's talk about how awesome this alternate history is.
What about for the wii-u?!
Fun fact: George Washington had a reputation during his military for being *literally* invincible. During the entirety of his career, he lost dozens of horses. After every battle, his clothing would be riddled with gashes and bullet holes. Not once was he ever wounded or even remotely injured.
not gonna buy it i oly want dlc story the mp pack can suck it.
I can almost garauntee that the Free Mason's will be the Assassin's Order in the revolutionary war. THink about it the Assassin's Symbol can easily be converted into the Free Mason Square symbol. And most of the founding father were Free Mason's who were "Free thinkers" which is exactly lined up with the Assassins beliefs.
That picture of Washington looks so bada***
I want this DLC it sounds so interesting. Makes you think what if that was reality? How would America be now?
As long as it's worth the price, I'll be happy.
That's sad. 30 dollars in addition to a 60 dollar game.
Huh...interesting.
does the “The Tyranny of King George” dlc come with the season pass or do i have to purchase that separately?
i want to buy it but i just how is not like the last DLC of ACR ....sooooo boring
Can't wait...
