Assassin’s Creed III DLC Has Evil George Washington

Looks like a Piece Of Eden in Georgy-boy's staff there

I hope this DLC has some sort of ridiculous/crazy explanation as to why George Washington would do that. Evil Templar space machines or something.

I know this isn't an original thought, but it kinda makes sense as colonialism didn't EXACTLY work out great for the Native Americans.

That picture looks Fables-ish.

I like it. Some good, insane alt-history fun. It'd be nice if you can end the game by handing control of the 13 colonies back to their rightful owner, King George III

Hopefully this will be more substantial than AC2's DLC, because this sounds awesome.

Expansion pack announcements before the game itself is even released, I just absolutely love it!

....

So, no DLC for PC?

Ha, thats awesome, so they will make you stab george washington one way or another

Wat o.o

EDIT: Woo, achievement get. No one is surprised though. Although evil George Washington sounds like the perfect nemesis to the Lincoln Force.

Ubisoft’s expansion plans for Assassin’s Creed III look to be more ambitious than in previous offerings, with the company already announcing a three-part story called The Tyranny of King George.

The Tyranny of King George supposes the Revolutionary War didn’t end with a future full of democracy, but a power-hungry George Washington succumbing to the very thing he fought against.

“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,’” said executive producer Sebastien Puel in today’s press release.

Sounds like it’s not exactly canonical with the rest of the series.

Today also brings word of the inevitable season pass for Assassin’s Creed III. It will cost $29.99 on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, and brings five expansion packs, including multiplayer content. Ubisoft said all of the additions will be available within six months of the game’s October 30 release, and if you purchase the Season Pass, it’ll be a 25% savings over purchasing all the DLC separately.

The downloadable content will also be available on Wii U, but it’s unclear if the Season Pass will, as well. I’ve asked Ubisoft for clarification.
