Ubisoft has announced that the Animus Project Update 1.0 downloadable content (DLC) for Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood is now available. The DLC is freely available for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game. The Animus Project Update 2.0 will also be free, and is scheduled to launch in January 2011.
Animus Project Update 1.0
The Animus Project Update 1.0 includes a new game mode and new map for Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Multiplayer. The game mode, Advanced Alliance, increases the difficulty of target identification and engagement, providing a renewed challenge for those already veteran multiplayer assassins. With three teams of two players each, Advanced Alliance is a tougher test for players and rewards teams that use stealth techniques to hunt their targets.
The new map, Mont Saint-Michel, is located on a rocky tidal island of Normandy in France. Its particular topography of narrow streets, high-perched bell-tower and multi-leveled architecture is perfect for hunters and predators alike. To survive, recruits need to use free-running and narrow roads to their advantage.
Animus Project Update 2.0
The Animus Project Update 2.0 includes a new game mode and new map for Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Multiplayer. The Pienza Map provides a free-running playground where predators and targets can blend and disappear.
In the new Chest Capture Multiplayer Mode two teams comprised of three players each partner with fellow Templars to either defend or capture Chests. Also included is the new Templar Score feature to reward diligent work by Abstergo recruits.
