'Join Or Die' Edition Leaked

[k1ll1ng5pr33]

An Assassin’s Creed III ‘Join Or Die’ Edition has been accidentally leaked over at Italian online retailer Multiplayer.com.



The image was spotted by a few quick users but has since been removed. Could this be an upcoming Collector’s Edition for Assassin’s Creed III?

The term “Join or Die” was a popular slogan created by Benjamin Franklin in a political cartoon back in 1754. Given Benjamin Franklin is appearing as a supporting character in Assassin’s Creed III leads some credibility to such an edition.

It has already been confirmed that a Collector’s Edition is heading to Australia but what it actually includes is still a mystery.

Going by the product image, it looks like the Join or Die Edition comes with a leather-bound journal along with an Assassin’s Creed neck chain and downloadable content, all housed in a limited edition Join Or Die box. The image does say in Italian that it is not the finalised box art which as collectors will know, usually indicates it is a promotional shot for something that is upcoming.

No official release information from Ubisoft is available at this time but it does give you food for thought. Assassin’s Creed III is due out on October 31st 2012 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Assassin insignia bling?

Sold.

I wonder what's in that leather journal? But it doesn't look that appealing, if the only two extras are the chain and book. The DLC will be available in the store not long after the game comes out anyway.

I wonder if I be a good boy, santa Claus would gives one to me.... (typed wrong on purpose)...

Man this looks promising.

The DLC will likely just be a new multiplayer character, so - meh. But that leather journal and assassin's symbol necklace are damn sweet. I'll be adding that to my Nathan Drake's ring.

EDIT: Single Player Mission - Lost Mayan Ruins. What.



If the necklace is a medalion like the one on the official site then I'm not interested =( the one on the OP's picture was way cooler.

I am LOVING the artwork for the Join or Die Edition. That is just beautiful.

I wonder what the price points will be....?

The 'Join and Die' edition is €79,99 and the 'Freedom' edition is €99,99. I'm not sure about other countries though.

[Cadiman1983]

I'm under the impression that at least the Freedom Edition is EU only. I really hope not because I want it badly!

[Vaco Deus]

Thanks for the info, Stevuuhn!

I hope these come stateside. It'd be nice seeing as the game is set here and all
