If you have been wanting to hear more info about just how Assassin's Creed II's new batch of DLC will play out, wait no further, for Ubisoft has just detailed and priced the two upcoming DLC packs. Plus, they were nice enough to include a video.

The first DLC pack, entitled The Battle of Forli, is due out in January 2010 and tells the story of the Machiavelli, Caterina Sforza, and their defense of the city of Forli from the Orsi family. As usual, Ezio will be behind enemy lines to help save the city from being overtaken. The Battle of Forli will also feature a mission when Ezio utilizes Da Vinci's flying machine once again. If you're expecting a whopping $10 price tag, prepare to be surprised. Ubisoft has priced The Battle of Forli at a reasonable $3.99.

February will see the release of The Bonfire of the Vanities. In the second DLC expansion, Ezio returns to Florence to free the city from the evil monk Savonarola, who has used a Piece of Eden to gain control of Florence. Ubisoft also states that Ezio will acquire a new "spring-jump" ability in this new expansion. The price of The Bonfire of the Vanities will be priced at $4.99.

Sounds reasonable and fun. Check out the trailer below to see a clip of what to expect early next year.

Philip: My wallet is happy and can be at peace. Who else hopes that other developers will start reasonably pricing DLC for their own games? I'm looking at you, Gearbox.
