Today, Microsoft
announced that it is releasing an Xbox One bundle on November 2 that includes both
Assassin's Creed Unity and
Assassin's Creed IV.
There are two bundles -- one with Kinect, and one without. The Kinect bundle also comes with
Dance Central Spotlight, making for a total of three free games. The
Unity download code in the box will allow players to pre-load the game for delivery upon release -- November 11. Both bundles will cost the same as Xbox One consoles
without any extra games -- $399 without Kinect, and $499 with.
Microsoft recently released an Xbox One bundle with
Madden NFL 15 in collaboration with Electronic Arts.
While reliable sales data on Xbox One
has been hard to come by, Microsoft's console has regularly lagged behind the PlayStation 4 -- though Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter
predicted that the
Madden pack-in pushed it ahead of Sony's console for September, which likely explains the
Assassin's Creed move.
