“History is our playground and AC teams have always loved to play with historical facts and their consequences as a way to better understand a period in time”, explained executive producer Sebastian Puel. "While Assassin's Creed 3 focuses on the story as it unfolds, we wanted to take some liberties with this DLC and tell you how things could have happened".
This explanation was necessary after the controversy generated around the announcement that the first Assassin's Creed 3 DLC would be aimed at shooting down neither more nor less than George Washington. In this first DLC, the Assassin's Creed 3 team asks us: "What if George Washington were corrupted by the power of the mace and his promises of unlimited power?" against such an idea considering this “what if” scenario as “stupid” and that it makes no sense to play with such an important personality.
Despite some dispute, the game Assassin's Creed 3 will be released for Xbox 360 and PS3 on October 31st, November 23rd for PC and November 30th for Wii U. Within the 6 months that will follow the launch of the game (still there is no specific date) players will be able to buy the 3 episodes that make up this DLC, which in addition to giving them access to the George Washington tyrant version, will also give them access to extra multiplayer content.
