14 DAY TRIAL // Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood has just been released around the world, and already Ubisoft is promising that the downloadable content received by the game will be much better than the two add-ons received by the previous game, Assassin's Creed 2.
According to the producer of the game, Vincent Pontbriand, Brotherhood will see some downloadable content released for it when the time is right, and that the add-ons will make much more sense than the ones released for the previous game.
"We want to give more of the game so we have plans for post-launch DLC. It's a mix between maintaining shelf life, which is going to be easier with multiplayer I think. It's obvious what you can do with that."
"It's harder to expand it story wise in terms of single-player because otherwise you never have closure, you have to re-open doors if you know what I mean. It's a calculated risk."
Pontbriand then talked about the two add-ons released for Assassin's Creed 2, the Bonfire of the Vanities and the Battle of Forli.
"I think people felt cheated at the impression that there was stuff that didn't make it into the game. It's frustrating since I can understand that view but it wasn't our intentions at all."
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is the sequel to last year's Assassin's Creed 2, and promises to continue the story of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who must take down the evil Borgia family from Italy's capital, Rome.
Besides the single-player story, the game also has a multiplayer feature, a first for the Ubisoft franchise, which sees players take on the roles of different characters in Rome and try to assassinate others while staying undetected.
The game has just been released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and will be released on the PC at the beginning of next year.
