We’re used to getting bonus missions, skins and so on in return for pre-ordering a game, but this is definitely something new.
North American customers who pre-order Assassin’s Creed: Unity will earn up to five spins per week on the ‘Guillotine Prize Drop’, a slot machine which offers various prizes, from in-game content to expenses-paid “exotic trips”.
In addition to this odd ‘pre-order content to get a chance at content’ approach, there will be a more traditional bonus mission for everyone, regardless of retailer or location, who pre-orders Assassin’s Creed: Unity. Chemical Revolution sees Unity protagonist Arno team up with famous historical chemist Antoine Lavoisier for alchemical hi-jinks and presumably some more stabbing.
Assassin’s Creed: Unity is coming to PC, PS4 and Xbox One in October. Ubisoft say they’re working hard to ensure a simultaneous launch across all platforms.
