Assassin's Creed III 'Battle Hardened' DLC out now

Assassin's Creed III has added new downloadable content. The multiplayer-focused Battle Hardened Pack is now available on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network and is free for those with a $30 DLC season pass. Otherwise, the content is available for $10.

The Battle Hardened Pack for Assassin's Creed III includes three new multiplayer maps (Charlestown, Fort St-Mathieu, and Saint Pierre) as well as a trio of characters, including the Governor, the Highlander, and the Coyote Man.

No mention was made concerning a release for the PC and Wii U versions of Assassin's Creed III.

The Battle Hardened Pack follows December's "Hidden Secrets" DLC, which brought three new missions and unlockable weapons to Assassin's Creed III. Add-on content still in the pipeline is the three-part Tyranny of King George expansion.

Assassin's Creed III launched worldwide on October 30, selling 3.5 million units during its launch week and 7 million copies as of last month. For more, check out GameSpot's review.
