Assassin's Creed Syndicate Collector's Edition

Victorian London never looked this good on a shelf. The Assassin's Creed Syndicate Collector's Edition on PlayStation 4 is one of Ubisoft's more impressive collector's packages, anchored by a 9-inch Jacob Frye Cross-Road figurine that gives your display case some serious gang leader energy. This PS4 Collector's Edition also includes the Season Pass, a copy of the official soundtrack, the official artbook, a double-sided London map, and an exclusive single-player mission called The Darwin and Dickens Conspiracy.

That figurine is the centerpiece here. Nine inches of Jacob mid-stride, detailed enough to remind you why Syndicate's art direction was one of its strongest elements. The artbook and soundtrack add the kind of behind-the-scenes depth that collectors actually revisit, and the double-sided London map is the sort of physical cartography that makes you realize how much we lost when everything went digital.

The Darwin and Dickens Conspiracy mission is the real collector's hook though. Exclusive content tied to a physical edition, the kind of thing that gives a box actual gameplay significance beyond what's sitting on store shelves. Syndicate was the Assassin's Creed that let us brawl through industrial-era London with brass knuckles and a top hat, and this Collector's Edition preserved that experience with the reverence it deserved.
