First Assassin’s Creed III DLC will be available this week

The first downloadable content pack for Assassin’s Creed III will be available to Season Pass holders starting this week. The DLC, called Hidden Secrets, will also be available to gamers without a season ticket starting next week.

The Hidden Secrets DLC pack adds three new single-player missions to Assassin’s Creed III, namely the Lost Mayan Ruins, the Ghost of War and A Dangerous Secret, Ubisoft announced on Wednesday. The missions, which add more than an hour of gameplay to the game, take place in an ancient Mayan ruin and at sea. Successfully completing these missions also earns players new in-game weapons. In addition, the DLC pack adds two new costumes to the single player and two new characters to the multiplayer mode Assassin’s Creed III.

PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 gamers who have bought a season ticket for Assassin’s Creed III for 29.99 euros can already download the DLC pack without having to pay separately for it. Gamers without a Season Pass will be able to download the pack on December 11 for Xbox 360 and PC, or December 13 for PlayStation 3. Ubisoft has not yet announced the price for the single download.

The only version of Assassin’s Creed III where the DLC pack is not available this week and next is the Nintendo Wii U. According to Ubisoft, the Hidden Secrets pack will be available for Nintendo’s console at a later date.
