Yesterday, Ubisoft officially revealed Assassin’s Creed Syndicate to the world. The next instalment to the Assassin’s Creed franchise sees players take to the streets of Victorian London as Assassin Jacob Frye and his twin sister Evie who, with a little help from their friends, aim to change the fate of the people.

Unsurprisingly, Ubisoft has a few different editions lined up for Syndicate. In total, there are five different editions, FIVE. It makes me wonder at what point we’re going when games are getting too many different editions… Here’s a run-down of the different editions, all available for pre-order from the Uplay store, and details of what each edition contains:
