Another fall season is approaching and, unsurprisingly, three new Call of Duty collector’s sets have been announced to remind us of just that. However, instead of being a part of the Ghosts promotion package, these new bundles are for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, the series’ futuristic, Kevin Spacy-infused tale.
This trio of pricey sets — which includes the Atlas Pro Edition, the Atlas Limited Edition and the Atlas Digital Pro Edition — offer unique and more expensive ways for fans to jump into the first truly next-gen Call of Duty experience. Ranging from $79.99 to $119.99 US dollars, their contents are as follows:
Inspired by the Atlas Corporation, the leading Private Military Corporation (PMC) in 2054 and lead by the influential Jonathan Irons, the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Atlas Limited Edition features an extensive array of both digital and physical content, including a bonus multiplayer map Atlas Gorge, a collectible SteelBook™, the Welcome to Atlas: Advanced Soldier Manual, and the Atlas Digital Content Pack, a collection of digital content that includes an Atlas-themed exoskeleton, Atlas-themed weaponry, and more. (SRP $79.99)
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Atlas Pro Edition is the ultimate package, including everything available in the Atlas Limited Edition version (bonus multiplayer map Atlas Gorge, the collectible SteelBook™, the Welcome to Atlas: Advanced Soldier Manual, and the Atlas Digital Content Pack), as well as the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Season Pass featuring four action-packed DLC Map Packs*, each delivering a collection of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare multiplayer content and more (SRP $119.99)
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Atlas Digital Pro Edition is perfect for fans that prefer to access all of their content digitally. The Atlas Digital Pro Edition includes all of the same bold digital content as the Atlas Pro Edition, including the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Season Pass, bonus multiplayer map Atlas Gorge, and the Atlas Digital Content Pack. Also included with this version is the Atlas Digital Edition Personalization Pack, with more details to be revealed soon. (SRP $99.99)
As per usual, these sets are for the true fanatics out there, who don’t mind spending a bit of extra money in order to get exclusive gear. I, for one, will be fine with simply owning the regular edition.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare won’t be released until November, but you can pre-order both its Atlas Pro Edition and Atlas Limited Edition now. The Digital Pro Edition won’t be available for purchase until closer to the game’s launch date.
Stay tuned for more information pertaining to this upcoming behemoth, and anticipate a full multiplayer reveal on August 11.
