We all knew Assassin’s Creed III was going to get DLC, at some stage, but according to a letter sent out to retailers – Ubisoft is planning something big.

The letter, according to Kotaku, was sent to Gamestop stores to thank the retailer for their efforts in rangling in pre-orders for the game. The letter apparently confirms Ubisoft’s plan for a “season pass” as well as outlining the developers plan for DLC support:

“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.”

File this under rumour for now, we’ll keep you posted.
