Assassin's Creed Shadows is nearing its official release, and rumors and updates are appearing regularly. Ahead of its entry, the game has several editions with different price tags and contents. This difference massively affects the quality of these editions, and it will be worth witnessing the changes.
It is to be noted that AC Shadows has a delayed release date that can moderate its pricing model. Steam, PlayStation Store, and Xbox removed the wishlist option for the pre-order feature. Interestingly, the game’s first expansion includes all pre-orders for free.
Are you excited enough to know different variations of the Shadows Editions? Here’s what to expect from all the editions.
Many editions are available for Assassins’ Creed Shadows, so players need to consider them according to their requirements.
Price: $69.99
Content Offered: Base Game
Pre-Order Bonus(es): Claws of Awaji Expansion, Thrown to the Dogs Bonus Quest
Initially, the standard edition was planned to serve only as the base game for $69.99. Fortunately, the delay in the game's release rewards players with a free first expansion.
However, it can be considered a fabulous addition without any additional cost. Thus, pre-ordering any Assassins’ Creed Shadows Editions will benefit those already invested in the game.
Price: $89.99
Content Offered: Base Game
Bonus(es): Claws of Awaji Expansion, Thrown to the Dogs Bonus Quest, Deluxe Pack, and 5 Mastery Points.
The Digital Deluxe is an upgraded pack to the Standard Edition. Players need to spend only $89.99. With the higher $20, players will get much more than the earlier Assassins’ Creed Shadows Editions, like the Deluxe Pack.
The Deluxe pack has Sekiryu Dual and Sekiryu Hideout Packs. Both packs feature different contents, as follows:
Sekiryu Dual Pack includes-
Claw of the Dragon Long Katana
Dragon Tooth Trinket
Eye of the Dragon Katana
Sekiryu Gear Set for Yasuke and Naoe
Sekiryu Beast Mount
Sekiryu Hideout Pack includes-
Sekiryu Mizubachi
Sekiryu Mask

Bonus(es): Same as the Digital Deluxe edition and other physical contents
The Standard and Digital Deluxe editions can be found on Ubisoft’s website, but this edition is only available at GameStop. Moreover, the edition is limited to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms. Thus, players can get it online or by participating in retail stores.
Apart from the pre-order bonuses, same as the Digital Deluxe edition, the players can expect the following additional content:
Collector's art book (76 pages)
Creed Wall Scroll (70x30cm)
Naoa's Katana Tsuba (life-sized)
Naoe & Yasuke Statue (approximately 40cm)
SteelBook Case
Two Sumi-e Lithographs (19x13,5cm)
World Map
Price: $17,99/month

It is another premium Ubisoft-only edition for the AC Shadows that players can look upon. However, this Assassins’ Creed Shadows Editions Price tag indicates that players need to spend monthly.
All Assassins’ Creed Shadows Editions pre-order bonuses are pretty similar to each other. The Thrown to the Dogs quest and 10+ hours of bonus Claws of Awaji expansion content are the ultimate pre-order bonuses.
