Xbox One has announced its “Assassin’s Creed” bundle pack just in time for the holidays.
The bundle will set users back $399 for the Xbox One and two “Assassin’s Creed” titles or $499 if you’re interested in the Kinect. “Assassins’ Creed: Unity” and “Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag” are included in both bundle packs.
Ubisoft’s “Assassin’s Creed” has sold more than 77 million copies since its release. The latest title for the Xbox One, “Assassin’s Creed: Unity," will be available for Nov. 11.
However, developers recently came underfire for allegedly lowering their standards to avoid console comparisons. Ubisoft Senior Producer Vincent Pontbriand denied the allegations, claiming it doesn’t make since for developers to hold back. Both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will run the title on 900p/30fps.
“We know a lot of gamers consider 1080p with 60 frames per second to be the gold standard, especially on the new generation of consoles,” Pontbriand told UbiBlog. “We realize we had also pushed for 1080p in some of our previous games, including AC4. But we made the right decision to focus our resources on delivering the best gameplay experience, and resolution is just one factor.”
"This holiday we're focused on offering fans the best games, with unprecedented choice and value," Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of Microsoft, said in a news release. "We've lined up an incredible set of bundles to support the launch of some of the most anticipated game launches of the year, including Assassin's Creed Unity, Sunset Overdrive, and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
"Combined with our award-winning games line-up this holiday, it's an incredible time to play on Xbox One. Over the next two months, we look forward to celebrating with fans every week as we launch new games, new bundles, and a few surprises for Xbox One."
