Editions explained

[marvin_tr]

Neither Steam nor Ubisoft is clear about the contents of different editions of Black Flag. After many researches I made the following table.

                               Standard    Deluxe**   Season Pass    Gold***
Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag     X          X                        X  
DLC Aveline                                   X                        X
Castaway Price                                X                        X
Illustrious Pirates Pack*                     X            X           X
Freedom Cry*                                               X           X

Guild of Rogues*                                           X           X
Kraken Ship Pack                                           X           X
Death Vessel Pack*                                         X           X

I hope this table clarifies confusions, please let me know if you see any errors.

Have a nice day.

Thanks !

[Saint Apollo Yao]

Much appreciate.

[WhiteKnight]

Standard has just the game then. Why is that it is costlier than deluxe then?. Thanks for this though. This should be stickied.

[Wildstar]

Thanks!

I think Blackbeard's Wrath is included in the Season Pass, but someone who bought the DDE + SP combo should confirm that they really have it.

and whats with the editions you can purchase directly from ubisoft?
there is the digital deluxe edition for 9,99€ http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubiemea/de_DE/pd/ThemeID.8605700/productID.288585400

and the Special Edition for 14,99€ http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubiemea/de_DE/pd/ThemeID.8605700/productID.275396800/Assassins-Creed-IV-Black-Flag-Special-Edition.html

Im totally confused where and which edition i should buy.
Is the Ubisoft digital deluxe the same like the steam standard edition or something? And the Ubisoft special the same like steam deluxe?

[Mouffie]

i have a deluxe edition and it says i have freedom cry.... even thou i cant find the key for it and cant play it atm

[Samuraï_Rockerboy]

But why they say you have The Freedom Cry DLC when you buy the Digital Deluxe Edition?

[Laser Guided Anime Fish]

Bought the gold, and I have Blackbeard in MP.

[laserad]

i got all the other 5 ac games that came before black flag in special editions containing all content.. why cant i get the full version of acIV too when i live in Europe? stop this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ubisoft!

[sixburn]

bought the Skull Edition because other editions are out of reach except the ridiculously expensive Ubishop/Uplay edition.

Since I can't find better topics - Google throws this one too - the Deluxe Edition contain the aveline DLC for sure? I got the game free 2 years on Uplay and I like to upgrade it.

You will need to but the DLC through Uplay store. Steam DLC is for the Steam version of the game and will not work with your Uplay copy.
