Ubisoft have just announced the existence of the Assassin’s Creed Heritage Collection, featuring all five previous Assassin’s Creed titles (not including the upcoming Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag). The collection will be exclusive to PAL territories and will be available from November 8th 2013 in the UK.
Sony is rolling out the first in a series of “Best of PlayStation Network” collections in June in North America, featuring four PlayStation Network exclusives. The Best of PlayStation Network, Vol. 1 packs four diverse PSN games on to one Blu-ray disc to give gamers a take of what the PlayStation Store has to offer. Volume 1 will be on store shelves from June 25th 2013 for $39.99, saving gamers nearly $15 off the PlayStation Store price.
Sony has announced two new collections launching on August 28th 2012, when the Ratchet & Clank Collection is released. The two new collections are the God of War Saga and the inFamous Collection. The new collections mark the launch of a new line from Sony, and will be easily distinguishable.
The second collection for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is now available to purchase from the PlayStation Store. The DLC includes three new multiplayer maps (also usable in Survival mode), two Special Ops missions, and two Face Off maps. The collection can be downloaded for $14.99 on the Store.
Konami has announced that the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will be release on February 3rd 2012 for Xbox 360 & PS3 in Europe. The collection will contain Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, MGS2: Sons of Liberty, MGS 3: Snake Eater and MGS: Peace Walker. Check out the trailer below in the mean time.
The remastered ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection launch on September 27th, and as a special treat the final boxart and inside packaging for the collection has been revealed. In addition to full 1080p HD, stereoscopic 3D support, and 7.1 surround sound, this re-release contains a ton of exclusive bonus footage and behind-the-scenes content.
A new Tekken collection is heading to the PS3. TEKKEN Hybrid, due for a pre-christmas release, will feature three bone-crunching goodies on one Blu-ray Disc. Tekken Tag Tournament HD; Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Prologue and Tekken Blood Vengeance.
In 2009, the God of War Collection was released on Blu-ray disc featuring both God of War and God of War II in true 720p HD form. Almost two years later, the collection will soon be available to download from the PlayStation Store. Both the remastered games will be available to download from the store on November 2nd 2010.
Just like the God of War Collection, Team Ico is expected to bring out their own collection consisting of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. TheSixthAxis was told unofficially that the collection is on the way and is due in early 2011. Both titles will be available on Blu-ray disc for the PlayStation, presumably on the same disc and with optimised graphics.
As you may already know, the God of War Collection is now available in the US but has yet to see a European release. SCEE has now confirmed that the God of War Collection will be hitting Europe in 2010, but not in Q1. Europe has a long wait, but at lease this clears up any speculation regarding the European release. The actual date remains a secret for now, though.
