Ubisoft has issued a press release to announce the release of The Betrayal, the second episode of The Tyranny of King Washington, the three-part DLC campaign for Assassin's Creed III. As you probably know, the story takes place in an alternate history in which George Washington declares himself King of America after the success of the American Revolution and needs to be forcefully removed from office.

The press release says The Betrayal is available on the Xbox 360 and PC today, March 19th, and will be released on the PlayStation 3 tomorrow, March 20th. There is a brief statement at the end which says all DLC will be available on the Wii U eShop, but there is no indication of when it may arrive.
It would appear that Wii U owners may have to wait a while longer to purchase Episode 2 of the three-part series. Launch trailer and press release after the break.
