European Assassin’s Creed III CEs Revealed

Jason G wrote in to inform us of details of three confirmed European CE releases for Assassin’s Creed III.

The Freedom Edition, includes Alex Ross’ SteelBook (similar in design to the North American pre-order bonus), “George Washington’s Notebook”, a statue of “Connor” and some DLC content all wrapped up in a good sized decorative box.

The Join or Die Edition seems to be a slightly smaller package which replace the statue with a “Join or Die” medallion. It also lacks the SteelBook and some of the DLC Content.

Finally there will be a Special Edition which seems to come in a standard game case with alternative cover art and the inclusion of an “exclusive” piece of single player DLC Content “A Dangerous Secret”. Those who complete this DLC will also unlock the “Flintlock Musket” weapon.

The Freedom Edition has an RRP of £80 for PS3 and Xbox 360 and an RRP of £60 for PC, the Join or Die Edition has an RRP of £65 for PS3 and Xbox 360 and an RRP of £50 for PC. All of these will be released on October 31st of this year. No word yet on any CE releases for North America, if past Assassin’s Creed games are any indication the North American releases will be completely different than the European releases.

Darksiders II Limited and Collector’s Editions announced

Thanks to all the people who let us know about this recent announcement.

THQ has released details about both a Limited Edition and Collector’s Editions coming for Darksiders II. The Limited Edition is a first-edition type release (meaning all pre-orders are automatically upgraded) it’s essentially the Standard Edition with a DLC code for the Arguls’ Tomb pack.  The Limited Edition seems to be available on all platforms world wide.

The collector’s Edition includes the limited edition along with a life-sized Death Mask, hard-cover artbook and DLC codes for the official soundtrack and the Shadow of Death Pack.

So far the Collector’s Edition only seems to be available for Xbox 360 and PS3, and (at the moment) only sold through GameStop in North America at a price of $99.

Darksiders II is slated for release on June 26th in North America and June 29th in Europe.

Assassins Creed III SteelBook and First Edition Rumor

I went to pickup my Mass Effect 3 Collector’s Edition yesterday and to my surprise GameStop was giving away sealed G1 sized SteelBook cases with pre-orders for Assassin’s Creed III on 360, PS3, and PC. The deal doesn’t seem to be specific to GameStop as Amazon.com is also offering SteelBooks as a pre-order bonus. The Clerk also seemed to think that there was going to be a First Edition upgrade announced soon, similar to the Signature Edition for AC Revelations.

Framed and signed “Ultimate” Collector’s Edition of Agarest: Generations of War Zero

Yesterday I received word from Ghostlight that they’re offering a extremely limited version of the Agarest: Generations of War Zero Collector’s Edition.

After some interest was shown both on Twitter and in the comments section of the Blog in purchasing one of these, we’ve been looking into ways of turning this into a very special, very exclusive collector’s item for fans of this great game.  After some careful thought we believe we now have something we can offer you.

We will be making a very limited run of 15 of these superb Ultimate Collector’s Editions available, priced at £499 (not including shipping or insurance).  The frames themselves will be handmade and the package will then be personally signed and authenticated by Mr. Hirano (Art lead) and Mr. Sugano (Producer/Director) from Idea Factory.  All of Ghostlight’s profits from the sales of the Ultimate Collector’s Edition will be going to the Japan Tsunami Appeal.  So, not only will you be getting a wonderful collector’s item, but you’ll be supporting a fantastic cause as well.

We will be offering shipping throughout the PAL region on these items.

Details of how to order have yet to be announced and despite the heavy price tag profits are going towards support for the Japan Tsumani Appeal, so it’s for a good cause. We’ll post more information when we know more.
