If you played through Assassin’s Creed II this winter (Platinum Trophy right here, folks), then you may recall there were a couple of corrupted sequences that Desmond wasn’t able to access in the Animus. Well, this week, you’ll be able to play through the first of two “repaired” sequences, as The Battle of Forli hits the PSN on Thursday.
Producer Frederic Lefrancois (you remember him, right?) has some more details on the DLC:
The battle of Forli is an actual battle where the Orsi brothers attacked the city of Forli which was ruled at the time by Caterina Sforza. Ezio and Machiavelli – leader of the Florence mercenaries – make their way to the citadel of Forli with the apple of Eden to request protection from Caterina Sforza. As they approach, something goes wrong: Forli is under attack! Borgia guards are laying siege to the city. The attack seems to be lead by the two dreaded Orsi brothers. Players will have to protect the city alongside Sforza and the great Machiavelli who they have met towards the end of sequence 11. The flying machine will also be accessible in the city/region of Forli to players.
Oh wait, did I make you read about history? You can just watch this video instead :-)
The Battle of Forli DLC hits PSN tomorrow for $3.99. The second AC2 DLC, Bonfire of the Vanities is scheduled for late February, will run you $4.99, and will *not* feature an early-90s Tom Hanks.
I can think of numerous DLC’s that didn’t include trophies. To me, this is no new thing and I don’t understand why everyone is so upset. What do you actually GAIN from trophies? After all those hours hunting for them, doing mindless tasks that you never would have done last generation.
ok all i see is complaints from you so called gamers. if ur not an AC fan at all then dont buy the game period. i for one am a HUGE AC fan and ill buy the dlc becuz i want 100% sync and cuz its part of AC2. the fact that you can take the time to complain about this saddens me. other dlc is jus like this one but do you bag on those? nope u just bag on AC2. if u wouldnt buy AC dlc then dont buy AC2 or any other AC object period its honestly that simple. to all those buying it cuz its awesome NULLO E REALE TUTO E LECITO!
I AGREE WITH 32!!!
I need the REPLAY Function!!!
Hey Jeff, on the UbiSoft Site there was some kind of petition on the AC2 board that people were signing and submitting to UbiSoft in order to get replay functionality back! Since you’re going to be asking about Number 32’s question, can you include mine as well please?
Thanks!
