The various versions of The Division 2 have been revealed in the Australian Windows Store. Three different editions are now available for pre-order. We show you what bonuses will be included.
Update: You can read everything that is included in the Year 1 Pass here.
The Division 2 will likely have at least three different editions. Australian fans can now pre-order the Standard, Gold, and Ultimate Editions there. Via reddit, a fan shared links to the Australian Microsoft Store where these editions are now available.
These will probably be presented to us during Gamescom. The Australian website already displays the pre-order bonuses and additional content for the respective editions.
Private Beta and other bonuses for pre-orderers
You will receive this if you pre-order The Division 2: If you order the Standard and Gold Editions, you will receive guaranteed access to a “Private Beta”. Additionally, there is the “Capitol Defender Pack”.
Pre-orderers of the Ultimate Edition will receive a discount on the purchase price, as all content is included anyway.
What is the Private Beta? That The Division 2 would receive a beta was already known since its reveal at E3. Right after the press conference, one could register for the beta.
The fact that a Private Beta is to be held over pre-orders is a bit strange. Probably access for non-pre-orderers will be drawn from registered fans.
What the different versions of The Division 2 include
While the Standard Edition does not offer any additional content without pre-ordering, you will receive various bonuses with the Gold and Ultimate Editions. We summarize the contents of the different versions for you:
- Standard Edition: Includes the main game
- Gold Edition: Includes the “Year 1 Pass”, a steelbook (Xbox One and PS4), a teddy keychain for your backpack, and three days of early access to the game
- Ultimate Edition: Includes the “Year 1 Pass”, a teddy keychain, selected soundtracks, three days of early access to the game, and four packs with digital contents
- Phoenix Shield Collectors Edition: Includes the “Year 1 Pass”, a teddy keychain, a digital deluxe pack, three days of early access to the game, a figure, an art book, selected soundtracks, a season pass, the elite agent pack, an exclusive steelbook, and a world map
- Dark Zone Collectors Edition: Includes the “Year 1 Pass”, a teddy keychain, three days of early access to the game, a 30cm PVC figure, an art book, selected soundtracks, a season pass, the battleworn pack, and a world map
What the different packs include: The digital contents of the various packs bring you weapons, outfits, skins, and even expansions for your inventory.
- Capitol Defender Pack: Exotic SPAS-12 shotgun and the Hazmat-2.0 outfit
- Elite Agent Pack: An exotic assault rifle, an exclusive skill effect, and expanded inventory space
- First Responder Pack: First responder outfit and weapon skin
- Battleworn Secret Service Pack: Secret Service outfit, secret service emote, and weapon skin
What is the “Year 1” Pass? With this pass, you receive a one-year VIP membership with some bonuses, such as
- 7 days early access to the DLCs of the first year,
- cosmetic items
- and other unknown content
Content like maps or missions are rather not to be expected. After all, Massive announced that all “proper” DLCs will be available for free in the first year.
How much will the editions likely cost? The prices in the Microsoft Store are listed in Australian dollars, while the Ubisoft Store displays its prices in Canadian dollars.
- 99.95 AUD for the Standard Edition,
- 145 AUD for the Gold Edition
- 160 AUD for the Ultimate Edition
- 320 CAD for the Phoenix Shield Collectors Edition
- 250 CAD for the Dark Zone Collectors Edition
What the full contents will look like and what the Private Beta and the “Year 1” Pass are about will likely be revealed to us at Gamescom. We will keep you updated.
What do you think of the contents? Will you pre-order The Division 2?
