Forums - Gaming - Assassin's Creed 2 DLC hitting in january and beyond

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/01/assassins-creed-2-getting-double-dose-of-dlc-starting-january-2/

Ubisoft has announced -- rather cryptically -- that Assassin's Creed 2 will receive two batches of downloadable content over the coming months. The first, entitled "Battle for Forli," will launch in January, 2010, followed by "Bonfire of the Vanities" in February. You're advised to have either a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 (fairly important components for playing the base game, we might add), along with at least 1GB of free space for each download.

Ubisoft has promised to divulge more information later this month. If we were to don our speculation hats in the meantime -- if only to cover up our Robert Langdon hair -- we'd say that "Battle of Forli" will continue the story of Caterina Sforza, who made a brief and undignified cameo in the game as a boat tutorial. The second DLC, "Bonfire of the Vanities," will likely concern the mass burning of sinful objects in Florence. Remind us to toss some of those evil feathers on the bonfire.

Hopefully these will be meaningful additions, fingers crossed!

cool. Another reminder for me to get this game



Long Live SHIO!

So are they going to be following the main story or what? I don't know how DLC works for a single player only game like this.

I'd guess that they are side missions that don't relate to main story.



To explain where the DLC will fit in the story (timeline)would be to spoil the game for those who have not played. Will be buying both when they come out. AC2 is my #3 game of the year

Okay thanks for the clarification.
