The Wii U and its DLC schedule have had some worried that the platform might not receive the same attention to digital content from publishers as the rest of its peers - after all, Activision has yet to mention Black Ops II DLC with any specificity, and only Nintendo themselves seem to be serious about expanding upon their games on the platform at the moment. It comes as a relief, then, to say that Wii U players will be getting their hands on DLC for Assassin's Creed 3 in the coming week. The report comes courtesy of Polygon.

The "Hidden Secrets" pack will release for $5 and include the retail-specific pre-order bonuses, including the Ghost of War, Mayan Ruins and A Dangerous Secret missions. The Redcoat and Sharpshooter multiplayer characters and the Ship Captain and Colonial Assassin skins will also be included.

The "Battle Hardened" pack will retail for $10 and include the Coyote Man, Governor and Highlander for multiplayer and the Charlestown, Fort St-Mathieu and Sain Pierre multiplayer maps.

Ubisoft's upcoming "The Tyranny of King Washington" is expected to be ported to the Wii U in the future as well.

The aforementioned packs should go live coinciding with this week's eShop update, so keep your eagle vision on and look out for the first of Assassin's Creed 3's DLC.
