The revolution gets a second act. Assassin's Creed III Washington Edition for PlayStation 3 packages Connor's colonial adventure with a substantial DLC lineup that turns an already massive game into something bordering on excessive. The Hidden Secrets Pack adds three extra missions that send you from Lost Mayan Ruins to the open seas, rewarding completionists with exclusive in-game weapons plus two singleplayer skins and two multiplayer characters.

The Battle Hardened Pack drops three new multiplayer characters and maps alongside bonus customization items and additional trophies. But the real draw here is The Tyranny of King Washington, a three-part alternate history campaign that asks a question nobody knew they needed answered: what if George Washington went full dictator? This was Ubisoft at peak ambition during the PS3 generation, when the Assassin's Creed franchise still felt like it had something to prove.

The Washington Edition bundles everything into one package, which means no hunting down individual DLC codes that may or may not still redeem. For collectors building out a complete Assassin's Creed library on PS3, this is the definitive version. The alternate history content alone makes it worth tracking down, a genuinely weird and wonderful creative swing from a franchise that would later play things much safer.
