Ubisoft has just announced that DLC for Assassin's Creed II will be coming out in January and February, but details are murky as to what exactly it will entail. In an email that just landed in our inboxes, it says that the packs are going to be the Battle of Forli and the Bonfire of the Vanities, likely in that order. Beyond that, the information is scarce, only saying that it will be on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and will require 1.0 GB for each pack. That's a huge size, and while there's no price, it wouldn't be crazy to assume that DLC that big will likely come with a hefty price tag. After selling as well as it did, Ubisoft can afford to take some risks with this title, and I'm hoping that it's more than Arkham Asylum's Challenge Rooms.

The cryptic (or, as we think, mistakenly sent) email is below. That, or there's a code in there, which would be so meta I'm sweating just thinking about it. Any ideas?
