Tyranny of King Washington DLC Means Big Patch for Assassin's Creed 3
Get your game patched or no Washingtonian tyranny for you...
Assassin's Creed 3 has some large slabs of single-player DLC coming, beginning with 'The Tyranny of King Washington ' on Feb 19th. But prior to that is a large patch.
Patch details are below. The first part of "The Tyranny of King Washington DLC" is included in the cost of an Assassin's Creed 3 Season Pass for £23.99 / $30 / 2400 MP. However, if you don't want to fork out that much in one go, episodes can be purchased individually for £7.99 / $10 / 800 MP. Episodes? Yes.
After "Episode 1" of the DLC ("The Infamy") comes Episode Two ("The Betrayal") this will happen four weeks later on 19th March on PC and US PSN; Xbox Live and EU PSN get it on the 20th. And then there's Episode Three ("The Redemption") on 23/24th April.
No dates for Wii U DLC yet.
