• Base edition of the game
• 3-day Early Access before global launch and Standard Edition purchase
• Season Pass that includes two extra missions at launch alongside two future expansions.
• Pre-ordering the Gold Edition will yield an additional Thrown to the Dogs Quest.

The Gold Edition falls slightly short of being a worthy recommendation, thanks to its €40 increase in price from the Standard Edition.

If an interested buyer wants to shell out more cash to get the additional benefits, it is much wiser to spend the €109.99 to get the Ultimate Edition. Otherwise, the Standard Edition will make for a decent purchase, one that aligns with Ubisoft's pricing standards for digital copies of base variants.
