After years of annual installments, Ubisoft decided not to release a new Assassin’s Creed game in 2016 (give or take an Ezio Trilogy). The company realized gamers had lost their zeal for the franchise, and decided to build a new installment from the ground up, with hopes of improving what had grown rusty. The result is Assassin’s Creed Origins, a much more open and fresh-feeling game you’ll be able to play on PS4, Xbox One, and PC when it launches on October 27, 2017.
If you’re ready to preorder the game, you’ll probably want to know what bonuses you’ll get, and what comes in the many editions Ubisoft is releasing. We have you covered, so read on for everything you need to know about preordering Assassin’s Creed Origins. This may be one of the most complex and convoluted lineups for a single game we've ever seen. There are no less than six different special editions of Assassin's Creed Origins, some of which are exclusive to specific retailers. Only some include the Season Pass as well. So stick with us - we're here to break it all down:
Price: $70
If you want a few digital goodies in addition to the core game, you’ll probably want to grab the Deluxe Edition, which comes with the following in-game items (along with a bonus mission if you preorder):
- Naval Mission: Ambush at Sea
- Eye of Apep
- Legendary Snake Shield
- Desert Cobra Outfit
- Fangs Horse Companion
- 3 Bonus Ability Points
- Fang Sickle Sword
Price: $100
The digital-only Gold Edition is the same as the Deluxe Edition, but with the addition of the Season Pass for an extra $30 - $10 less than its standard price:
- Season Pass
- Naval Mission: Ambush at Sea
- Eye of Apep
- Legendary Snake Shield
- Desert Cobra Outfit
- Fangs Horse Companion
- 3 Bonus Ability Points
- Fang Sickle Sword
Price: $110
Want a steelbook to go along with your game? Then the Gold Steelbook Edition is for you. It comes with all the digital goodies and the Season Pass, along with a fancy steelbook case + copy of the game for an extra $10:
- Steelbook
- Season Pass
- Naval Mission: Ambush at Sea
- Eye of Apep
- Legendary Snake Shield
- Desert Cobra Outfit
- Fangs Horse Companion
- 3 Bonus Ability Points
- Fang Sickle Sword
Price: $120
Origins has two separate high-end Collector's Editions. The first, Gods Edition, includes the digital goodies in the Deluxe edition, along with a variety of physical bonuses. Note that it doesn't include the Season Pass, which is the first real example of shenanigans, here. It comes with:
- Deluxe Edition of the game
- Printed map
- Art book
- Official soundtrack
- 10.2” Bayek figurine
- Naval Mission: Ambush at Sea
- Eye of Apep
- Legendary Snake Shield
- Desert Cobra Outfit
- Fangs Horse Companion
- 3 Bonus Ability Points
- Fang Sickle Sword
Price: $160
The second, higher-end Collector's Edition is the Dawn of the Creed Edition. It comes with a different, more elaborate Bayek figurine, a few other exclusive physical goodies, and tosses in the Steelbook Gold Edition for good measure (which, if you've been paying attention, you'll recall includes the Season Pass). It comes with all of these extras:
- Season pass
- Steelbook Gold Edition of the game
- Printed map
- Art book
- Official soundtrack
- Art cards
- 15.4” Bayek figurine
- Bayek’s Eagle amulet
- Naval Mission: Ambush at Sea
- Eye of Apep
- Legendary Snake Shield
- Desert Cobra Outfit
- Fangs Horse Companion
- 3 Bonus Ability Points
- Fang Sickle Sword
Price: $800
Let’s say you have an extra $800 burning a hole in your pocket and you’re an enormous Assassin’s Creed fan. In that case, you’ll want to grab the Legendary Dawn of the Creed Edition (assuming you can find it in stock somewhere). There's plenty to be exasperated by with this overly convoluted lineup of different editions, but this $800 ultra-high-end edition seems... surprisingly reasonable. Huge, high-end figurines like this don't come cheap. It does appear that this edition comes with two steelbook cases though, which is just weird. Here’s what you’ll get for your money.
- High-end Bayek & Senu Figurine (height 28.7 inches) - By Ubi Collectibles
- The Assassin's Creed Origins Gold Edition (PC is Digital Download), which includes the Season Pass, Digital Deluxe Pack, and an additional mission.
- The World Map: explore the Egypt of Assassin's Creed Origins with this hand-drawn artistic representation
- Premium Collector's Case
- Replica of Bayek's eagle skull amulet
- Steelbook
- Artbook
- Four 15 x 11 Lithographs
- Official game soundtrack
