Ubisoft Reveals Copious DLC for Prince of Persia, EndWar, Far Cry 2

Fri, Nov 21, 2008

Yes, that's right -- they got Assassin's Creed in your Prince of Persia. And though we have to admit it was far more exciting the first time Ubisoft revealed that Altair would appear in a game not his own, we're certain that plenty of users who register at ubisoft.com for the free Xbox 360 and PS3 skin will enjoy the opportunity to play with him regardless.

But if you're in the mood for something a little less... cosmetic, Ubisoft has plenty more DLC on offer.

Purchased a copy of voice-activated RTS EndWar recently? Tried it with seven of your buddies online? No you haven't -- but that four-vs-four co-op multiplayer experience is just around the corner.

Prince of Persia will also get far more than a couple of skins -- producer Ben Mattes has gone on the record saying that "significant" DLC is on the way, and a new quote from Mattes yesterday indicates that it might even be a new episodic adventure:

"Our intention is to do downloadable content that really offers a lot of value for the player - another experience," he said.

Last but not least, there's a fairly hefty DLC pack with new weapons, vehicles and maps coming later this month for Far Cry 2 -- the "Fortune's Pack."

UBISOFT ANNOUNCES NEW DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT AVAILABLE BEFORE THE END OF NOVEMBER FOR FAR CRY® 2 – THE FORTUNE’S PACK BRINGS YOU EVEN MORE TOOLS OF MAYHEM

London, UK – 21 November 2008 – Today Ubisoft announced it will release exciting new downloadable content (DLC) for Far Cry® 2. The Fortune’s Pack DLC will bring new vehicles and new weapons to both the single-player game and the multiplayer game, giving gamers even more diverse means of destruction. Be the silent stalker armed with your silent shotgun or jump on your new quad and blast through the dunes of Africa. The Fortune’s Pack DLC for Far Cry 2 will be available for download from Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and from PlayStation®Network.
The Fortune’s Pack DLC for Far Cry 2 includes:

Single-Player Mode
Three brand-new weapons
- Silenced shotgun
- Sawed-off shotgun
- Crossbow

Two new vehicles
- Unimog
- Quad

Multiplayer Mode
- Four new exciting maps
1. Cheap Labor
2. Last Resort
3. Lake Smear
4. Fort Fury
- New single-player weapons and vehicles also available in multiplayer

Though Ubisoft is no stranger to DLC, pumping out new game modes for Rainbow Six Vegas 2 earlier this year and a Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter DLC pack before that, it seems that they are releasing downloadable content for all major titles these days.
