Ubisoft didn’t provide a picture for the Limited Edition mentioned above, but this video shows the Assassin’s Creed 3 Limited Edition Pre-Order Steelbook with Alex Ross art from GameStop.
While the above three Collector’s Edition have only been announced for the European region, the versions in other regions may or may not be similar. Although they weren’t in the past. So for example America may yet get that Assassin symbol silver necklace that’s been rumored.
I normally don’t indulge too much in Collector’s Editions, since they cost quite a bit more. But the extras make that Freedom Edition a must-have for me!
