Which Edition of Assassin's Creed Shadows Will Ubisoft+ Feature?

Assassin's Creed Shadows has recently been announced, and with it came the announcement that it'll be featured as a day-one availability on Ubisoft's Xbox Game Pass competitor, Ubisoft+. Much like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, you'll be able to play Assassin's Creed Shadows on release day, though it might make you wonder: what sort of goodies can you get for through Ubisoft+?

Considering there are three editions to Assassin's Creed Shadows, it isn't as easy as knowing it'll be available, as it could be any of the three, each with varying amounts of content. Hardcore fans will want to be able to partake with the exclusive Ultimate Edition, featuring a slew of great bonuses that veterans won't want to miss out on, while the Standard Edition features the pre-order bonus (an exclusive quest you can only get if you pre-order the game!), and missing out on that might be a dealbreaker for many.

The good news is that the Ubisoft+ version of Assassin's Creed Shadows will be the Ultimate Edition; this comes packed with the pre-order bonus. This means that not only do you get access to the exclusive pre-order quest, but you'll also be able to embark on your journey across 16th-century Feudal Japan early, featuring a three-day early access! So if you get the game on Ubisoft+, you can start playing on the 12th of November 2024 rather than the 15th of November 2024 like those who buy the Standard Edition.

This means that for £14.99/month, you can get the equivalent of the £114.99 edition (the Ultimate Edition)! This could be a great option even for those who are solely interested in playing Assassin's Creed Shadows and think they can finish it within the month, and especially so for current subscribers, as it'll be like getting a free bonus.

Assassin's Creed Shadows will be coming out later this year on the 15th of November for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Amazon Luna, Macs through Apple Silicon via the Mac App Store, and PC via Ubisoft and the Epic Games Store.
