Ubisoft has released the first two Assassin’s Creed III downloadable content packs for Wii U through the Nintendo eShop.
The Hidden Secrets and The Battle Hardened became available for Nintendo’s console on 17 January 2013. Both packs had previously launched for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
The Hidden Secrets was priced at $4.99 in North America. The single-player pack contains three additional missions: Lost Mayan Ruins, Ghost of War and A Dangerous Secret.
Each mission rewards Connor with an additional weapon. The pack also includes the Captain of the Aquila uniform, the Colonial Assassin outfit, and the Redcoat and Sharpshooter multiplayer characters.
The Battle Hardened was priced at $9.99 in North America. The multiplayer pack adds the Governor, Highlander and Coyote Man as playable characters.
The Battle Hardened also introduces three multiplayer maps: Charlestown, Fort St-Mathieu and Saint Pierre.
The Hidden Secrets and The Battle Hardened arrived before Ubisoft began releasing The Tyranny of King Washington, a three-part alternate-history campaign featuring George Washington as a tyrannical king. Ubisoft later confirmed the full release dates for all three episodes.
The Hidden Secrets and The Battle Hardened can no longer be purchased because Nintendo ended Wii U eShop sales on 27 March 2023. Players who bought the packs before the closure can still redownload their purchased content for the foreseeable future.
