Ubisoft announced today that The Hidden Secrets, the first downloadable content pack for Assassin's Creed III, is now available for Season Pass owners on Xbox 360 and Windows PC and will be available tomorrow for PlayStation 3.
The Hidden Secrets for Assassin's Creed III adds three extra missions, including the Lost Mayan Ruins, the Ghost of War and a Dangerous Secret, for an additional hour of gameplay, taking gamers from the lost Mayan ruins to the high seas. Every successful mission is rewarded with in-game weapons.
Coming October 30th and taking place during the American Revolutionary War, Assassin's Creed III introduces a new hero of Native American and English heritage.
18th Century North America: After more than 20 years of conflict, the 13 American colonies and the British Crown are on the brink of all out war. Battle lines are drawn. Bloodshed is inevitable.
Out of the embers of his burning village, a new assassin will rise. Born of Mohawk and British blood, his fight for freedom and justice will be forged in the flames of revolution.

Ubisoft has released box art for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed III, which confirms the new time frame and location.
Earlier today, Ubisoft unveiled the box art for for the latest entry in the Assassin’s Creed franchise (seen above) on the game’s Facebook page, giving us the first taste of what we can expect from the Ezio-less sequel later this year. Shortly thereafter, Game Informer released the first official images from Assassin’s Creed 3 (see to the side and below), further hinting at what we can expect.
The images place the time frame of the next game to be during the American Revolution, and the action suggests that the main character will be fighting against the British. All of which just confirms the rumors that have been floating around for months.
Of course, the rumors of an American Revolutionary setting were just a few out of many. It was also rumored that the game may be set in Ancient Egypt, Victorian England, and Imperialist China to name just a few. One of rumors had to be true.
But taking what we know about the image and comparing it with the rest of the series, we can make a few more educated guesses as to what we can expect when the game is released (probably in November like that previous games in the series were, but that is unconfirmed).
