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.

Assassins Creed III SteelBook and First Edition Rumor

I went to pickup my Mass Effect 3 Collector’s Edition yesterday and to my surprise GameStop was giving away sealed G1 sized SteelBook cases with pre-orders for Assassin’s Creed III on 360, PS3, and PC. The deal doesn’t seem to be specific to GameStop as Amazon.com is also offering SteelBooks as a pre-order bonus. The Clerk also seemed to think that there was going to be a First Edition upgrade announced soon, similar to the Signature Edition for AC Revelations.

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.

Aliens: Colonial Marines Collector’s Edition Details Leaked

Thank you to everyone who wrote in to tell us about the leaked Collector’s Edition of Aliens: Colonial Marines. French Gaming site Gamekyo broke the announcement.

The graphic above clearly shows that the CE will come in a nice looking display box along with a statue of the iconic power loader along with some in-game content. It’s unclear which region the CE is slated for, though considering the game has already been released in North America (correction: it was scheduled for release in November but pushed back) and the leak occurred in France I would venture a guess that this will be at very least a UK release, possibly all of Europe. I would suspect we will get more details including pricing once it gets closer to the ambiguous “Spring 2012” release date.
