Assassin's Creed III UK special editions exclusive to GAME, Gamestop

Ubisoft has cleared up some of the confusion surrounding the three special editions of Assassin's Creed III available in the UK, two of which are retailer exclusives.

According to Eurogamer, the version previously called the Special Edition is now the GAME Exclusive Edition, and is, uh, exclusive to GAME. That's the one which includes the A Dangerous Secret mission and a bonus weapon, and goes for £39.99 on consoles.

The Freedom Edition, which is likely the fanciest of the lot, is exclusive to Gamestop and includes two bonus missions and a figurine.

There's also the Join or Die version, which doesn't seem to be exclusive to anywhere.

All three release have different bonuses on offer, which makes it hard to choose between them; check out all the details here, check with your retailer as to which versions they will carry, and if all else fails, hit up the UbiShop.

Assassin's Creed III is due on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in late October, with a Wii U version undated.
