Sony has updated the Playstation Blog with word that Ubisoft Entertainment will be providing buyers of the PS3 version of Assassin`s Creed: Brotherhood with some free DLC. Exclusive to PS3.

This additional content revolves around Renaissance astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (see what I did there?), who will have extra assignments for Ezio, including courier, assassination and protection missions. The missions are part of a storyline involving a conspiracy against Copernicus and his heliocentric philosophy, which was revolutionary at the time.

The Copernicus Conspiracy content will be available for free download on November 16, 2010, which happens to be the day Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood launches for PlayStation 3.
