Microsoft has confirmed two Assassin’s Creed: Unity bundles leaked by retailers earlier this week.
The first costs 349.99 and includes a copy of the game and the second adds in a Kinect and costs 399.99. Both include a copy of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, too.
Interestingly both will be released on November 4th in the UK (and Sunday November 2nd in the US) ahead of the game’s official release on November 13th. That doesn’t mean buyers will get the game early, however. Instead, they will be able to digitally pre-load the title and any pre-release updates before it unlocks at midnight on release day.
Microsoft adds that some countries with multiple time zones will align to one release time” so there’s a slim chance of accessing it a few hours early. Or late.
This holiday we’re focused on offering fans the best games, with unprecedented choice and value,” Microsoft’s corporate vice president Yusuf Mehdi added.
We’ve lined up an incredible set of bundles to support the launch of some of the most anticipated game launches of the year, including Assassin’s Creed Unity, Sunset Overdrive, and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Combined with our award-winning games line-up this holiday, it’s an incredible time to play on Xbox One. Over the next two months, we look forward to celebrating with fans every week as we launch new games, new bundles, and a few surprises for Xbox One.”
