The sort of importance that is given to preorder bonuses and special edition items has always worked as a good strategy for selling products by companies. And now in the gaming sphere we can see this same concept, and we must say it is working pretty well. Assassin’s Creed Unity has always made their goods so damn cool that people who don’t even play the game want a piece of it. This year, developer Ubisoft has created four different retailer-exclusive versions of Assassin’s Creed Unity, and each contains a unique weapon that cannot be acquired elsewhere (at least at launch). There will also be a Collector’s Edition that contains a number of real-world and in-game items.
All preordered copies, regardless of their retailer, come with a code for a real-world spin-to-win sweepstakes games. Ubisoft is giving away prizes like clothes, games and even stuff like trips to Paris and Ubisoft Montreal. Each game also comes with an in game mission call “The Chemical Revolution” although not much is known about it at the moment.
You can also purchase the Collector’s Edition for $130. It includes a 16-inch figure of protagonist Arno, a music box that plays Unity’s theme, a copy of the official soundtrack, an art book, a collector’s edition box, and the Killed by Science and The Chemical Revolution missions.
Of course, these bonuses can change before the game’s release. Assassin’s Creed Unity launches on October 28 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
