Microsoft Releasing Limited Edition Xbox One S Assassin’s Creed Origins Bundles

With Assassin's Creed Origins fast approaching later this month, hype for the long-awaited return of the franchise is at an all-time high – especially with the game's new location (Egypt) and deadly new assassin (Bayek) thrown into the mix.

But for those of you that don't have a game system yet that will let you enjoy all that Origins has to offer, Microsoft has some good news. The publisher has just announced that it will make two special Assassin's Creed Origins Xbox One bundles available on the same day that the game arrives in stores, and they'll be fairly affordable to boot!

Though the minor difference between the two bundles are essentially hard drive space (there's a 500GB bundle and a 1TB bundle, depending on what you're in need off), both come packed with some good stuff.

Each bundle comes with a white Xbox One S console, as well as a matching white controller. And, along with a digital download for Assassin's Creed Origins in the 1TB bundle, you'll also get another Ubisoft game for your trouble – the multiplayer hit Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. So not only do you get one game for your trouble, you get two. (But, again, only with the 1TB bundle.)

Actually, you get more than that as well. Each package will also include a one-month Xbox Game Pass subscription, which gives you access to over 100 different highly rated Xbox One and Xbox 360 games for download, along with a 14-day Xbox Live Gold subscription, so you can enjoy the multiplayer benefits right out of the box.

The 1TB bundle will go for $349.99, while the 500GB bundle will go for $279.99. They'll be released on October 27th, and you can pre-order them through the Microsoft Store now if you want to get a jump on the deal.

For those that want to wait for the Xbox One X, Assassin's Creed Origins will automatically have a free update to take advantage of that system when it arrives on November 7th, just a few days later.

"There's never been a better time to game with Xbox One, and to further showcase its best value in games and entertainment, the Xbox One S Assassin's Creed Origins Bonus Bundle (1TB) also includes Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. Prepare to master the art of destruction in intense close-quarters confrontations and dive into the explosive, tactical combat of this exciting first-person shooter," the company noted in its press statement.

Assassin's Creed Origins releases on October 27th for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
