Free Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood DLC Hitting In December

A new map and a new mode to stab people in! Stab, stab, stab.

Need a new Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood level or mode to stab dudes in? Want 'em or not, you'll be getting both if you choose to grab "Animus Project Update 1.0," a free DLC pack which should hit both Xbox Live and PSN on December 14, according to Ubisoft.

The new map, "Mont Saint-Michel," is set on the island of Normandy, France. Ubisoft says to expect plenty of tight steets, high places, and multi-tiered buildings. It also says that the scenery is "breathtaking," so do remember to focus on inhaling and exhaling the first time you see it.
 

No Caption Provided
  
The new mode, "Advanced Alliance Mode," is basically an update to the game's pre-existing "Alliance Mode" that makes it more challenging for experienced players.

Ubisoft says this DLC isn't about keeping the disc in your hands, though I'd imagine it wouldn't mind if you did. The DLC is free because you helped make the game "such a success on opening week," according to Ubisoft Montreal's Sebastien Puel. Don't you feel special now?

I like how Ubisoft is scratching its fans backs after they scratched theirs. I hope more companies follow and do more DLC. I do miss the days of having a physical copy of everything but eh, less clutter.

 Indeed, reciprocity has become an elusive quality amongst modern game developers.

The city looks pretty awesome.  Right now, though, I am too busy busying every single god damn building in Rome.

Don't really care about free DLC, fix that game first Ubisoft. There's a number of game breaking glitches in Brotherhood.

leave him alone, don't you see that it's really evil and frustrating when they give you free stuff? It's like in the mornings when you look out the window and the sun is shining, fucking annoying as shit! I'm gonna go bow hunt some butterflies now and steal some candy from a happy kid

" I actually went there in real life two summers back. Beautiful place, but like Venice it's literally crawling with tourists packed into the tiny streets shuffling forward to reach the top of the island. Also, something about this map seems a bit off. There's a lot more natural growth on the island, but maybe it wasn't always like that. 
it's not just that there's more trees and things.  The whole island is a lot taller than it appears in the screen shot.    The screen shot looks like a little island with an abbey in the middle.  In real life, there are several "levels": the town part is around the base, then there's the cloister and some other buildings up on these big walls, and finally the abbey church and the tower are on top of that.  Look at an image of it on google and you'll see what I mean.  It's the closest thing to Minith Tirith I've ever seen in real life (although it's not built into the side of a mountain).

Technically the Mont Saint Michel is only an island when the tide is high and its not even an island to begin with, its just a castle

This news is written very sarcasticly. Does the OP not like free dlc or something? Perhaps Ubisoft are genuinely happy with the sales so want to give a bit back.
 
I know its unheard of from a Microsoft perspective but hell its not unheard of.
