Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag not expected to outsell previous game, pre-order bonuses revealed

 
Ubisoft has revealed the pre-order items and the selling expectations for Black Flag.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot discussed the sales numbers which are expected to be lower than those of Assassins Creed 3 which reached 12,5 million copies.

“To come back to Assassin’s Creed 4, in our numbers we we expect less than last year. We are actually pushing to achieve more than last year because we think the pirate segment is a great segment that can generate a lot more on a worldwide basis than what was achieved last year. But we wanted to be prudent on our expectations so that it can probably be a bonus if it comes.”

And here's a list with all the retailer and bonuses:
  • GameStop Black Island pack: The deadly black ship, a Captain Morgan costume, and his silver flintlock pistol.
  • Amazon Hidden Mystery pack: Extra treasure-hunting mission on Mystery Island, Stede Bonnet's ship and Sted Bonnet costumes, and multiplayer items.
  • Walmart Sacrificed Secrets pack: Captain Drakehis dual-wield swords and pistols, his picture, title, and relics.
  • Best Buy Lost Treasures pack: Ivory wheel and spyglass relic.
  • Target Trove of Mystery pack: Iron wheel and astrolab relic.
