Gamers spoiled for choice with Assassins Creed: Revelations editions

ac1

It’s not enough just to offer the game now. You have to advertise bundles that come with soundtracks and artbooks and collector figurines. And if you’re Assassins Creed: Revelations, you have to offer a staggering 5 different types of bundles. Want to know what you get in each of these special editions? Check out the link below for a handy bundle by bundle content breakdown for Ubisoft’s upcoming release.

First up, we have the Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Animus Edition. We’ll call it the Rolls Royce of the special bundles. The ‘big boy’ as it were.

Splash out for this version and you’ll receive:

  • A copy of Assassin’s Creed: Revelations
  • Animus Box
  • In-depth Assassin’s Creed Encyclopedia.
  • A DVD of the animated short movie ‘Assassin’s Creed: Embers’
  • A Game soundtrack CD
  • An exclusive singleplayer mission – ‘Vlad the Impaler Prison’
  • Two multiplayer characters (The Crusader and Ottoman Jester)
  • Armour of Brutus from AC: Brotherhood
  • Capacity upgrades for the pistol, bombs, and crossbow.
  • One exclusive customisation item

Not bad, huh? Moving on, we have the Collector Edition. If you don’t want to splurge on the Animus Edition but you still want some extra bang for your buck, perhaps the Collector Edition is more to your tastes.

If you choose to spend your moolah on this baby, you’ll receive:

  • A copy of Assassin’s Creed: Revelations
  • Collector Box
  • An Artbook
  • A DVD of the animated short movie ‘Assassin’s Creed: Embers’
  • A Game soundtrack CD
  • A Bonus singleplayer mission – ‘Vlad the Impaler Prison’
  • Two multiplayer characters (The Crusader and Ottoman Jester)

Not as much as the Animus Edition, but still nothing to be sneezed at. If neither of those two editions are for you, perhaps you’ll like the Special Edition. It’s a little bit leaner than the above editions, but hey – it’s cheaper too.

The Special Edition offers the following content:

  • A copy of Assassin’s Creed: Revelations
  • Exclusive Packaging
  • A Game soundtrack CD
  • Two multiplayer characters (The Crusader and Ottoman Doctor)
  • Singleplayer Turkish Assassin Armour

This edition is really the ‘budget’ edition of the bundles, but hey – if all you’re after is the soundtrack CD it’s a pretty good option. Moving onto retailer specific bundles, Gamestop is offering a Signature Edition of the game.

The Signature edition appears to be very similar to the Special edition, but Gamestop is offering the following if you pre-order your copy with them:

  • A copy of Assassin’s Creed: Revelations
  • Exclusive Packaging
  • Bonus exclusive singleplayer mission
  • Weapon capacity upgrades
  • A multiplayer character
  • A DVD of the animated short movie ‘Assassin’s Creed: Embers’
  • A Game soundtrack CD

Finally, Gamestop is also offering another edition of the game – the Ultimate Bundle. You thought they’d run out of names to call these things, huh?

If you decide to spend your hard earned money on this edition, you’ll receive all the content of their Signature Edition of the game as well as:

  • An Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood Ezio 7-inch collectors figurine
  • A detailed replica model of Da Vinci’s flying machine

……and the flying machine niftily has enough room to house the figurine. Fantastic right?

Phew. All Assassin’s Creed: Revelations special bundles present and accounted for. Of course – you could just buy the standard edition of the game – but who does that anymore?!
