‘Assassin’s Creed’ movie merch and preorders total US$1200, actual game series discounted on PS Store

“Assassin’s Creed” the movie is pushing up the hype train even with more than half a year until its expected launch in cinemas in December. This is because tickets for the game are already being put up for preorder via Kernel.

What’s more, the preorders are not just for the tickets, because the packages offered cost as much as US$1,200 (approx. AU$1,600). For fans who just want a piece of the preorder action, the lowest price to get is the US$15 (approx. AU$ 20) package, which features one movie ticket, a copy of the script, a watch branded with the “Assassin’s Creed” franchise, removable tattoos for main characters and other extras, as per GameSpot. This alone is already a good enough buy for what it’s worth.

Some other additions to the package depending on the price include shirts, hidden blade toys, a hoodie with the AC brand, a scale statue of Aguilar and even a replica of the crossbow in the movie for the highest bundle. According to the source, this last package addition is a limited edition, as there will only be 20 pieces made and designed by Tim Wildgoose, responsible for crafting weapons in Hollywood.

On top of that, all preorder bundles will give buyers the chance to join a special contest for a two-person trip to the San Diego Comic-Con. The “Assassin’s Creed” movie still has not showcased a trailer, though talks of a sequel are already in place, with lead star Michael Fassbender already set to return for the role of Callum Lynch.
