Assassins Creed 2′s DLC which is due out next year was originally meant to be in the final game. Patrice Desilets, the father of Assassins Creed 2 said the the DLC, called Battle of Forli and Bonfire of the Vanitie, was part of the original game, but was cut out.
“I felt that, ‘Okay, there were too many things to do and to finish.’ So we said, ‘Okay, let’s take a portion of the game that was planned and we’ll give it in DLC.’ We’ll remove some stress to the team while giving more to fans and people who like Assassin’s Creed,” Desilets told Kotaku.
“I think we gave them so much content that they cannot say that we owe them, that we didn’t give them a lot for their 60 bucks,” he added.
The DLC is due out in January and February, and are essential for dedicated AC fans as it fills in the sequence gaps in the core game. Also good news, they’ll be priced at a mere $4 and $5 each. He also commented on the possiblity of a feature to replay any mission, but so far it’s looking unlikely.
