Assassin’s Creed 2 Special Edition Includes Missions, Music & Toys

5:30PM June 11, 2009 | Luke Plunkett

Like any other high-profile (or even mid-profile) game these days, Assassin’s Creed 2 will be available in a collector’s edition. Let’s take a look at what’s inside.

Called the “Black Edition”, the limited edition box set will ship in “black packaging”, and come with a “unique authentic holographic signature”. Whatever that means.

Included will be a “64-page finely crafted leather style hardcover and parchment-finish” book, which has stuff like concept art and developer interviews, a copy of the game’s soundtrack, an Ezio action figure (pictured), some “behind-the-scene interviews” and 3 “in-game bonus quests”.

As far as price goes, currently it’s only being listed in PAL territories, at £69.99 in the UK (USD$115) and AUD$149.95 (USD$121) in Australia. Since most games cost around AUD$100 here, you can probably expect the US version to come in at around $US80-90.

Kotaku AU Note: I’ll try to get some of these to give away closer to release. You guys up for that?

    No reason why we wouldn’t be up for that =]

    Another figure to chuck with the collection – still reckon there one of the better bonus’s with collectors/pre-orders.

    As long as you don’t make us videotape our parkour failures or something painful and embarrasing like that David, that’d be nifty to try and win one of these.

    Interesting note: The PC version (still AU) is the same package at $130.

    Erg, and here I was telling myself that I wouldn’t pick up another $150 CE after the quality of the SF4CE.

    There’s also a “White Edition”. I was under the impression that the White Edition was the one that came with the figurine.
