Darksiders II Limited and Collector’s Editions announced

Thanks to all the people who let us know about this recent announcement.

THQ has released details about both a Limited Edition and Collector’s Editions coming for Darksiders II. The Limited Edition is a first-edition type release (meaning all pre-orders are automatically upgraded) it’s essentially the Standard Edition with a DLC code for the Arguls’ Tomb pack.  The Limited Edition seems to be available on all platforms world wide.

The collector’s Edition includes the limited edition along with a life-sized Death Mask, hard-cover artbook and DLC codes for the official soundtrack and the Shadow of Death Pack.

So far the Collector’s Edition only seems to be available for Xbox 360 and PS3, and (at the moment) only sold through GameStop in North America at a price of $99.

Darksiders II is slated for release on June 26th in North America and June 29th in Europe.

Framed and signed “Ultimate” Collector’s Edition of Agarest: Generations of War Zero

Yesterday I received word from Ghostlight that they’re offering a extremely limited version of the Agarest: Generations of War Zero Collector’s Edition.

After some interest was shown both on Twitter and in the comments section of the Blog in purchasing one of these, we’ve been looking into ways of turning this into a very special, very exclusive collector’s item for fans of this great game.  After some careful thought we believe we now have something we can offer you.

We will be making a very limited run of 15 of these superb Ultimate Collector’s Editions available, priced at £499 (not including shipping or insurance).  The frames themselves will be handmade and the package will then be personally signed and authenticated by Mr. Hirano (Art lead) and Mr. Sugano (Producer/Director) from Idea Factory.  All of Ghostlight’s profits from the sales of the Ultimate Collector’s Edition will be going to the Japan Tsunami Appeal.  So, not only will you be getting a wonderful collector’s item, but you’ll be supporting a fantastic cause as well.

We will be offering shipping throughout the PAL region on these items.

Details of how to order have yet to be announced and despite the heavy price tag profits are going towards support for the Japan Tsumani Appeal, so it’s for a good cause. We’ll post more information when we know more.

Lots of you wrote in to tell us about the recently revealed Collector’s Edition of the Upcoming Ninja Gaiden 3.

This Edition looks to come in a nice box and includes all of the content you’d expect from a higher end CE. A CD soundtrack an artbook and a pair of figurines. Fans of Dead or Alive will also be happy to see the inclusion of a voucher for a special version of the Dead or Alive 5 demo which includes 4 playable fighters (as opposed other versions of the demo which only include 2 fighters).

The Darkness II Limited Edition Preorder Upgrade

2K Games have announced that The Darkness II will come in a Limited Edition. The Limited Edition is a free (and automatic) upgrade for anyone who pre-orders The Darkness II.

The Darkness II Limited Edition includes:

• Custom artwork illustrated by Marc Silvestri
• Free digital download of The Darkness Origins Volume 1 and 2 comics

Exclusive In-Game Items:

• Alternate darkling outfit – “Crazy Abdul”
• Two character ability upgrades:
• Gourmet Hearts: provides bonus for eating hearts
• Relic Hunter: locates collectible items in the world

I’m not sure if there is a special Steelbook or anything like that. It sounds as if there is only some digital Content for the Limited Edition.

Help Design the CE for Borderlands 2

Apparently GearBox is planning to offer a Collector’s Edition for their upcoming game Borderlands 2 (due out sometime in 2012). Not only are they planning to offer a CE they’ve asked the community to help them decide what to include!

You can send them your ideas on the official GearBox forum.

Me personally I told them I don’t care what they include for bonuses as long as the packaging is high quality. I figure I spend more time looking at it sitting on the shelf than anything else, so it might as well be worth looking at.

… although an RC claptrap would be pretty cool…

Duke Nukem Forever SteelBook Edition Availble for Pre-Order

Forum member Mike1888 noticed earlier today that FutureShop (the Canadian electronics store) is offering a SteelBook Edition of the upcoming Duke Nukem Forever on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Much like their recent Mortal Kombat SteelBook exclusive this is essentially a generic Duke Nukem Forevever themed SteelBook that is bundled alongside the standard edition of the game and provided free with a pre-order of the standard edition of the game on any platform at the regular $59.99 price. While not a “real” CE release SteelBooks have shown to hold their value among collectors so this is something collectors should strongly consider adding to their collection.
