It might've only hit retail shelves today, but Ubisoft has already announced its first downloadble content pack for Assassin's Creed: Revelations, the fourth console game in the Assassin's Creed series.

Launching Dec. 13 on the PlayStation Network and the Xbox Live Marketplace for $3.99 and 320 Microsoft points (respectively), the "Ancestors Character Pack" will add four new playable multiplayer characters to the fray: the Privateer, Corsair, Brigand and Gladiator. Each character comes equipped with their own unique weapons, taunts and assassination animations.

Curiously enough, the press release announcing this DLC casually mentioned a second downloadable content pack that's also available to pre-order along with the "Ancestors" pack, but gave no further details on the second download.

I decided to treat myself to at least one game purchase this holiday season, and the game I settled on is Assassin's Creed for PS3 (because it also includes the original and now I can own the whole series on one platform). I got back from the store around an hour ago. I realize that this content was likely developed or finalized after the game went gold, but I'm still not entirely pleased.

Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world

But each new character has UNIQUE ANIMATIONS, Jason!

On a serious note, I'd bet that second DLC the press release casually mentions is a lot more substantial (and hopefully an add-on to the single player campaign, which is what I'd say most folks play this series for).
