We draw ever closer to one of the biggest releases of the year, with Assassin's Creed 3 hitting PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next Wednesday the 31st, the PC on November 23rd and Wii U on November 30th. With that in mind, Ubisoft have put out the launch trailer for ACIII, giving us an awesome and infuriatingly week early look at Connor in action.

That's not all however, as the PlayStation Blog had a chat with Matt Turner - ACIII's script writer - to discuss the PlayStation 3 exclusive DLC designed for the game. Focusing on Benedict Arnold - the man who attempted to thwart the American Revolution through treachery - the DLC consists of four missions in which George Washington asks Connor to look into a plot to overthrow West Point.

Unlike the 'Tyranny of King Washington' DLC, the PS3 exclusive Benedict Arnold DLC will take place in a timeline similiar to our own - and includes historically accurate scenes fleshed out with the actual words spoken by those who took part. It sounds pretty neat - and the interview is well worth reading, so go check it out! As for the launch trailer, you can watch it embedded below or in our videos library - and if you want to learn more about Assassin's Creed 3, check out Joaby's excellent hands on. Were you grabbing ACIII on the PS3, or will you now? While I'm definitely not a fan of exclusive DLC, this one sounds pretty enticing. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!

I was tempted to get AC3 on the PC too, just because I tend to play everything on the PC regardless. I'm going PS3 now though - even without exclusive DLC you can apparently connect the Vita and PS3 versions for some sort of bonuses and I am definitely grabbing Liberation. Wii U would be my next choice though - like you said, I need something to play on it.

I'm praying that they've fixed whatever it is in the engine that makes every iteration of the series after the first game crash my PC. I don't want to play it on console, and I can't bloody afford one anyway.
