"Those crafty Templars at Ubisoft are at it again, seemingly planning to subjugate the masses with a \"season pass\" for Assassin's Creed 3. A letter purportedly sent to GameStop employees both thanks them for their \"hard work\" in snapping up pre-orders of AC3 from customers, and, more importantly, warns them of an upcoming \"season pass concept\" for this October's game.\"We are currently in the process of creating a complementary development team that will begin working on post-launch episodic content to continue the Game of the Year experience that Assassin's Creed 3 will undoubtedly deliver,\" reads the letter. It's not exactly uncommon for Ubisoft to support its games post-launch, and the AC franchise is no exception &amp;ndash; each of the last three AC games, starting with AC2, were bolstered by post-launch content.Precedents set by previous \"season pass\" offerings dictates that a variety of DLC (multiplayer, single-player, or both) would be packaged and sold ahead of its launch, giving the buyer an aggregate discount across all of it. Ubisoft enacted such a scheme with the last AC title, Revelations, albeit only via PC. Still, neither Ubisoft nor Gamestop can confirm this letter or a \"Season Pass\" for AC3. And no, DLC for Assassin's Creed 3 has not yet been announced, outside of the ambiguous \"special DLC\" heading exclusively to PlayStation 3 players."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
