Halo 4 Limited Edition Announced

May 16th, 2012 Michael Pica

343 Industries unveiled a Limited Edition for the upcoming Halo 4 to be released in North America on November 6th at $100 USD.

Halo 4 Limited Edition (SteelBook?)

While not explicitly confirmed it does look like it will include a SteelBook or similar case for the game, other physical goodies include a “UNSC Infinity Briefing Packet” which includes armor schematics ship blueprints and other information., Also included are “exclusive” bonus videos including making-of content, expanded character stories as well as a 90 live-action series “Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn”.

Microsoft seems to be taking a page out of Activision’s book for most of the content included are load of bonus DLC including access to “three future competitive multiplayer map packs… available post-launch” which seems quite similar to the bonus content included with the Modern Warfare 3 Hardened Edition.

No official word yet on a European variant though if past Microsoft rreleases are any indication they will be nearly identical to the North American release.
