Update: Ubisoft has confirmed this particular set, and has mentioned that it is a Europe-exclusive which will be made available in the region on November 30.
Original Story: A little something dubbed the Assassin’s Creed Anthology has popped up on the web, with its contents of course being all the AC games till date including their DLC packs. A listing for this collection was spotted on Amazon France, with its release date placed firmly on November 29, 2012. It will be priced in Europe at 150 Euros (approx. Rs. 10,480). No news is out yet about a North American version of the same nature.
The authenticity of this set was confirmed to Eurogamer yesterday by Ubisoft, who also informed the website that it will be officially unveiling it next week. According to the listing, the Assassin’s Creed Anthology will include the first AC game, AC 2 and AC 3. However, an image grab pulled from the retail website before it vanished, tells us that each and every Assassin’s title will be comprised in it. This makes space for AC: Brotherhood and AC: Revelations as well.
Moreover, each and every DLC for these games will also form part of it. This includes the added chapters of AC 2, AC: Brotherhood’s Leonardo expansion, AC: Revelation’s extra block puzzles, as well as all multiplayer packs. And as Assassin’s Creed 3 is still to get any DLC, it is possible that its Season Pass will be thrown into the mix, the first DLC of which will be called The Tyranny of King George. Divided into three parts, this add-on will focus on an alternate history wherein George Washington has turned into a tyrannical ruler of the newly independent America.
The first game from the AC series was launched in 2007 for the PS3 and Xbox 360, followed by PC in 2008. Ubisoft didn’t waste much more time bfore launching a sequel, as AC 2 came out 2009, and was followed by AC: Brotherhood in 2010. Just last year, we got AC: Revelations, whereas AC 3 is the latest entry to the extremely popular series. While the game has already launched for the PS3 and Xbox 360, a PC version will only be released on November 20. November 18 will also see its Wii U version hitting store shelves.
We’ll have more on the Assassin’s Creed Anthology next week, when Ubisoft plans to officially reveal it.
