Ubisoft hasn’t been shying away from offering completely ludicrous merchandise for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed: Origins game. While the game’s $800 collector’s edition seemed totally outrageous, a new Origins-branded piece of merch has taken the collective cake for all of gaming history thus far.


We’ve learned that French jewelry designer Tournaire has announced a £44,000 18-karat gold-laden set of headphones for the game. That’s 59,000 United States dollary-doos. If you’re really a bored millionaire and you read this website for some reason, you can also buy a set with a life-sized bust of the game’s protagonist Bayek:

I’m assuming the bust isn’t made out of gold either, because that would be just silly at this point. The set costs an extra £11,000 for a total of £55,000 or $74,000 dollars.

Considering how absolutely ridiculous this set is, Tournaire is only making ten sets of these things. Or you could buy yourself a house, a medium-expensive motor vehicle, or more.

If you’re a normal person looking for normal person cost luxury headphones, there’s also Focal’s “Listen Wireless” range over on the Ubisoft store, which will set you back a paltry £200 in comparison (roughly $270).

Assassin’s Creed Origins launches worldwide across PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on October 27th.
