Ubisoft is no stranger to special editions with most of its games launching with more than one. Assassin’s Creed Origins has taken this to the next level with at least 5 special editions, one of which costs a whopping £700/$800.
The £700 bundle is named Dawn of the Creed – Legendary Edition, limited to just 999 units across the world. The Legendary Edition includes most of the stuff you would expect such as the main game, deluxe pack and the season pass as well as physical goodies like a world map, the soundtrack, art book, art cards, lithographs and perhaps most importantly the eagle skull amulet and 73cm figurine. The figurine in the £120/$160 Dawn of the Creed edition is of course half the size but strangely the main jump in cost seems to be that the Legendary Edition casts the figurine and amulet in resin.
Perhaps the worst part is that for the price, you would expect the Legendary Edition to pack all the content of the previous editions, in which their combined total doesn’t even come close to the £700 mark. Unfortunately, the God’s Edition, Dawn of the Creed Edition and Dawn of the Creed Legendary edition all come with their own exclusive figurine, meaning that unless you are to spend a total of £905, you are guaranteed to miss out on some of the collectables.
Assassin’s Creed Origins is set to release on October 27th. For more information on each version, as a guide is necessary this time around, check out the Ubi Store.
KitGuru Says: The Legendary Edition is certainly only for the most die-hard fans of Assassin’s Creed, but it is still difficult to justify the cost. Do you think this has value for money?
This company is totally nuts and holy crap what a money grab. I am glad I don’t buy this companies crap.
I only every purchased one special edition of Assassin’s Creed. (I think AC2) which had the medal and the book in it. Only bought it because it’s weirdly cheaper than buying the standalone game on amazon for some reason lol. The medal was quite nice as it was actually cast out of bronze or something similar but the book was crap. Somehow it had pages in it that were essentially in a loop and stuck together. Which required me to use a craft knife to slit them apart so I actually look at them.
700 :/ you can get a Scorpio and a few games for that. Why would any sane person pay that kind of money (seriously, a 73cm figurine)? And for that price you should get all the goodies, not just some of them.
I pity the fools who waste their money this way. Every day we stray further from God.
lulz wat? This is how much I paid to buy my car! lol!
You didn’t come across as rude to me at all. The pricing certainly has a ‘spit out your coffee’ knee-jerk reaction for most of us!
