Ara History Untold is the next big strategic nation-builder title that is set to release on September 24, 2024. There are three editions of the game that you can currently buy. Unfortunately, Ara History Untold has no physical collectible items like some popular titles. That said, Ara History Untold does have pre-order bonuses that you will get regardless of the variant that you buy.

This article will explore the three Ara History Untold editions in detail so you can have an easier time deciding which one to buy.

How Many Editions Does Ara History Untold Have?

Ara History Untold is available in three editions:

  • Standard Edition – $59.99
  • Deluxe Edition – $69.99
  • Premium Edition (Steam exclusive) – $79.99

If you want to pre-purchase anything other than the Standard Edition, you will get an additional 10% off on them. Effectively then, you will need to spend $62.99 and $71.99 on the Deluxe and Premium Editions, respectively. You can purchase the game on PC either from Steam or from the Xbox Games Studio.

The Ara History Untold Deluxe Edition seems to be the best option and provides the best value for money. It will give you the base game and a significant number of skins for a meager $3 surcharge over the base game. You will also get the pre-order bonus and won’t miss out on any in-game content.

If the additional cosmetic items do not matter to you, then the Standard Edition will work just fine. However, given the very low price difference between the two, not getting the Deluxe Edition could be a matter of regret down the line.

If the game’s official soundtrack and digital artbook appeal to you, then the Ara History Untold Premium Edition is definitely a worthy choice. This variant is also not too expensive, currently priced at only $12 over the base game.
