Wasn’t Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood originally going to be just an expansion of Assassin’s Creed 2
? It’s blossomed into this huge sequel with a $60 price tag, a single player story comparable to AC2, a ton of multiplayer content, and now a $100 collector’s edition.
Ubisoft has just announced that Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood will indeed be getting a $100 CE version of the game, complete with a large and very very creepy extra. Besides an art book, bonus disc with comic/making-of videos/soundtrack, and hard copy map of Rome, the collector’s edition comes with a jack-in-the-box featuring the game’s harlequin or doctor characters. The box is a mysterious black with a silver Assassin’s Brotherhood logo on it, and is opened by a separate key (which itself looks pretty cool). It’s creepy, classy, and creepy again.
Gamestop will exclusively offer the harlequin jack-in-the-box in its collector’s editions, while all other retailers will offer the doctor jack-in-the-box. The game hits stores in both standard and collector’s editions November 16.
