In case you haven’t noticed, today is Assassin’s Creed III day. The embargo on all first looks has been liften, and Kotaku is flooded! Also — Ubisoft has revealed the game’s Australian collector’s edition. Normally I could care less about CEs, but this looks a bit of alright, and it comes packaged with one of those cool art books I like!
In Australia, two editions are available — The Freedom Edition (RRP $129.95) and The Join or Die Edition (RRP $109.95).
The Freedom Edition contains…
— Assassin’s Creed III retail game
— A 24-cm high-quality figurine of Connor
— A steel book case art drawn by awards-winning comic artist Alex Ross
— George Washington’s notebook revealing all the truth & secrets about the Assassins and the Templars during the American Revolution
— One exclusive Lithograph
— Two in-game Single Player Missions:
— Lost Mayan Ruins: Connor’s mission leads him in an old Mayan pyramid, full of mysteries and revelations. Players will be able to unlock Captain Kidd’s fabled cutlass, a deadly, brutal and beautiful piece of steel.
— Ghost of War: The tide of the Revolution turns into the Templars favour. Defeat your enemies and unlock The Pontiac’s War Club, a powerful Native American weapon.
— 1 in-game Multiplayer Package:
— The Sharpshooter package: Unleash the Sharpshooter fury in multiplayer with 1 new character, the Sharpshooter, 1 Relic, 1 Emblem, 1 special Picture and the Title of “The Jester”.
The Join or Die Edition has…
— Assassin’s Creed III retail game
— The medallion of the Assassins with its high-quality curd ladle
— George Washington’s notebook revealing all the truth & secrets about the Assassins and the Templars during the American Revolution
— 1 in-game Single Player Mission:
— Ghost of War: The tide of the Revolution turns into the Templars favour. Defeat your enemies and unlock The Pontiac’s War Club, a powerful Native American weapon.
— 1 in-game Multiplayer Package:
— The Sharpshooter package: Unleash the Sharpshooter fury in multiplayer with 1 new character, the Sharpshooter, 1 Relic, 1 Emblem, 1 special Picture and the Title of “The Jester”.
There is also a special edition which just contains the game itself and an exclusive single player mission titled A Dangerous Secret. See — even the normal copy of the game is ‘special’.
It all sounds well and good, but I do get shivers (bad ones) when I hear about extra single player content being given as part of a special edition, or as a pre-order bonus, but that might just be me. Still, a cool art book! Yay!
