Assassin's Creed Revelations 'Collector Edition' joins Animus Edition in UK
CVG reports that not only will the UK receive the previously revealed "Animus Edition" of Assassin's Creed: Revelations, but a second collectible bundle as well. The "Collector Edition" differs from the Animus Edition in that it contains an artbook and soundtrack instead of an encyclopedia, and leaves out the in-game Armor of Brutus and capacity upgrades. Oh, and it's £49.99 for Xbox 360 or PS3, instead of the Animus Edition's £68.99, as listed by retailer GAME. The Animus Edition is available from the UK's Ubishop site. Oh, did you want the artbook, soundtrack, and encyclopedia? Don't worry -- you don't have to buy the game twice. The Ubiworkshop is selling the encyclopedia.
Assassin's Creed Revelations 'Animus Edition' tempts Irish fans
A special edition of Assassin's Creed: Revelations found on GameStop in Ireland includes either more stuff than shows up in the American "Signature Edition" or provides additional info about what that edition will hold. Of course, the whole situation is a lot simpler if you're Irish, as the listing just tells you what is in this version you can buy. The €99.99 ($143) "Animus Edition" comes in special packaging, and includes rather a lot of stuff: a soundtrack, the Assassin's Creed Embers short film, and an "in-depth encyclopedia." In addition, it features in-game content including a mission set in the prison of Vlad the Impaler; gun, bullet, bomb, and arrow upgrades; the Armour of Brutus item from Brotherhood; two multiplayer characters, the Crusader and a new "Ottoman" version of the Jester; and "one exclusive customization item." To contrast, the US "Signature Edition" promises only an "extended gameplay mission, enhanced weapon capabilities, bonus multiplayer character, animated short film," and "in-game soundtrack." No big box, no encyclopedia, and no details about what those missions, characters, or upgrades are.
