Ubisoft has announced new DLC for Assassin's Creed III. There will be multiple downloadable episodes for The Tyranny of King Washington. The expansions take place in an alternate version of history where George Washington becomes king of America. "As the revolution comes to a close, a new and most unexpected enemy emerges," Ubisoft said of the content, "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."
Said executive producer Sebastien Puel: "History is our playground – and AC teams have always loved playing with historical facts and their consequences as a way to better understand a time period. While Assassin’s Creed III concentrates on history as it happens, we wanted to take some liberties with this DLC and tell you how things could have happened."
The expansion will come to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Wii U.
FIFA Soccer 13 has sold 4.5 million units in the game's first five days, making it the best video game launch of 2012 and the biggest sports game launch of all time. EA Sports also claims that the game sold 1.23 million copies in the UK, making it the second franchise to sell more than a million units in the UK in 24 hours. FIFA 13 was also the number one game in 40 countries.
