It is still more than a week before "Watch Dogs 2" is released, but game developer Ubisoft has already detailed its post-game release. The season pass for the game will be $39.99 and will include new stories, new clothes, and a whole lot more. The studio has also partnered with Samsung to offer free copies of the game for the electronics manufacturing giant.

Ubisoft has announced that there will be a total of five add-on packs included with the game. It also mentioned that three packs will be made available first for the PlayStation 4 for a whole month before it hits Xbox and Windows PC.

For those who pre-ordered the game, they will have the "Root Access Bundle," which is a side mission that involves the Zodiac Killer. Players will have a chance to solve a murder mystery, as well as to try new outfits, cars, a drone skin, and a new weapon. The season pass bonus is called the "Psychedelic Pack," and it will bring in the hippy side of things in San Francisco. Again, there will be weapons, clothes, car, and a drone skin. These packs will be available on the first day of release.

On Dec. 13, the "T-Bone Content Bundle" will land, and it will include Raymond "T-Bone" Kenney from the first game. It will also include his truck and his clothes. "Human Conditions" will bring forth a science and medical scandal in the city as well as a new enemy called Jammer. The "No Compromise" pack will be a showdown between the Russian Mafia and Marcus. A new co-op game mode called "Showdown" will also be introduced. The last two game packs will be released in spring of next year.

Meanwhile, certain Samsung SSDs and monitor models could give customers a free digital copy of "Watch Dogs 2." The promo offer applies to several products so be sure to check out Samsung's promo page for more details. A few of the products are 960 PRO SSD (512GB, 1TB, 2TB), 960 EVO SSD (500GB, 1TB), Samsung CFG70 Curved Gaming Monitor (24-inch), Samsung CFG70 Curved Gaming Monitor (27-inch), and Samsung CF791 Curved Monitor (34-inch).
