Ubisoft is very pleased with its weird little alternative-history open-world stealth series. Why? Because Assassin's Creed III has snagged more than twice the pre-orders of its previous record holder (which was Assassin's Creed Revelations) and the franchise has sold more than 40 million copies since it began in 2007.
The game's downloadable add-ons already look like a colonial smorgasbord, with Benedict Arnold free for PlayStation 3 owners, and several paid sets depicting The Tyranny of King Washington. The game's season pass costs $30, and besides presidents-gone-bad includes new content for Assassin's Creed III's multiplayer mode.
