Kotaku's runner-up for 2009 Game of the Year gets its first expansion with the downloadable, playable bonus "memory" of The Battle of Forli. Somehow managing to be essential and unessential, it's unlikely to be nominated for DLC of the Year.
The Battle of Forli is presented in terms understandable to Assassin's Creed II players as Memory Sequence 12, the first of two missing chapters of the life of Ezio de Auditore. Ubisoft's small army of ACII developers had been unable to fully develop the 12th and 13th chapter of their 14-chapter game in time for the disc-based game's November release, the series lead creator told Kotaku last month, so it's in early 2010 that the blanks are now being filled.
