Gamers who pick up Assassin's Creed Revelations on PlayStation 3 will be able to enjoy the original Assassin's Creed title at no additional cost.
Sony and Ubisoft have signed a special deal that will see the 2007 hit that launched the blockbuster franchise included on the same Blu-ray disc as the new title, which is released in November 2011.
This special offer is exclusive to the PlayStation 3 version of the game and will apply only to launch copies of the game, meaning fans will need to act quickly if they wish to benefit.
The inclusion of the original Assassin's Creed will tie into the storyline of Revelations, which sees master assassin Ezio Auditore tracing the footsteps of his predecessor Altair Ibn-La'Ahad, star of the first game.
Also available on Xbox 360 and PC, Revelations will take Ezio on a journey to Constantinople and a conflict with the Templars, in what will be the final chapter of his personal story.
The game promises to include new weapons, abilities, characters and locations, as well as a revamped multiplayer mode.
