The upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows looks far more appealing to me than the latest entries in the AC series thanks to its historic Japanese setting and dual protagonists. To get people excited for the game’s Nov. 15, 2024 release date, Ubisoft is offering four different editions of the game: A Standard Edition, Gold Edition, Ultimate Edition, and Collector’s Edition. We’ll go over what exactly is included in each Edition to help you make the best choice for your playing desires.Â
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Standard Edition
As you’d expect, the Standard Edition of Assassin’s Creed Shadows simply comes with the base game. However, those who preorder Shadows will get an additional bonus quest entitled, “Thrown to the Dogs.” The Standard Edition sells for $69.99 and is available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5.Â
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Gold Edition
Those who want just a little bit more than the base game will be interested in the Gold Edition, which not only unlocks the Season Pass, but also gives players three days early access to Assassin’s Creed Shadows. According to Ubisoft, the Season Pass provides a bonus quest for players to access on day one as well as access to two expansions that will be coming to the game down the road.Â
