Those of us looking forward to a 2012 release for the next Tomb Raider game from Crystal Dynamics can all breathe a sigh of relief as the developer has revealed that the project has reached an ‘Alpha’ state, putting it on track for launch this year.
EA South Africa recently confirmed that the amazing limited Collector’s Edition for Mass Effect 3 will indeed be making it’s way into the country, and simultaneously announced the contents of the package.
The Mass Effect 3 Collector’s Edition comprises awesome physical items and downloadable content, all of which you can glimpse below in a video and a comprehensive list… you know, to read:
Every major videogame needs a majorly impressive special edition to coincide with the release of that title, and so it is that Rockstar has just announced a special limited edition version of Max Payne 3, the studio’s next noir-drenched action adventure game.
There have already been plenty of awesome collector’s editions this year, and this trend seems set to extend well into 2012 if the one for Final Fantasy XIII-2 is anything to go by. Yesterday Square Enix lifted the lid on the game’s limited edition bundle which is exclusive to the US.
In addition to announcing a new expansion pack for World of Warcraft this weekend, Blizzard revealed the collector’s edition for the developer’s early 2012 action RPG, Diablo III, while releasing a jaw-dropping new cinematic trailer and detailing how certain members of its community will automatically get the game for free.
Let’s start with the collector’s edition of Diablo III, which contains the following items:
As 2011 is Sonic T. Hedgehog’s 20th anniversary year, it naturally makes sense to celebrate the little blue speedster with a brand new game that hopes to buck the trend of below average Sonic experiences and finally deliver something fans have been waiting for – a good, solid, fast-paced platform game.
According to SEGA, it also makes sense to release a version of this game that’s coated with awesome memorabilia, and so the collector’s edition of Sonic Generations has been announced for PS3 and Xbox 360.
It was inevitable for a game of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s importance and epic nature, but Bethesda Softworks has today officially announced that a limited collector’s edition version of the game will launch around the world alongside the regular edition of the game this November.
Available on November 11th in North America, Europe and Australia (and hopefully South Africa), The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Collector’s Edition will include the following amazing extras:
Created by Ubisoft’s internal UbiWorkshop, a computer generated animated movie by the name of Assassin’s Creed: Embers will release later this year in time for the launch of Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, allowing you to travel with master assassin Ezio Auditore on his final adventure in the Assassin’s Creed mythos.
Rhyming is fun, everybody.
That aside, thanks to this year’s San Diego Comic-Con we’ve been able to clap eyes on a Limited Edition Kinect Star Wars Xbox 360 console (which is apparently the very first custom-designed Xbox 360), inspired by classic Star Wars companions R2-D2 and C-3PO.
Priced at $449.99 and available this ‘Holiday’ alongside the release of the Kinect Star Wars game, this bundle will include the first ever white Kinect sensor, as well as the following:
[Update] The lack of pre-order availability in regions of the world outside of North America and Europe has since been confirmed by Bioware. Get the details over here . [End of Update]
So you live in South Africa and want to pre-order Star Wars: The Old Republic? Or perhaps you’re in another region of the world that isn’t North America or parts of Europe?
You’re out of luck, I’m afraid, because only “certain regions worldwide” are currently able to pre-order EA and Bioware’s upcoming online RPG.
[Update] It seems as though Star Wars: The Old Republic isn’t available to pre-order in certain regions of the world just yet, including South Africa. Find out why over here. [End of Update]
EA and developer Bioware have today revealed pre-order information for the pair’s upcoming epic Massively Multiplayer Online RPG (MMMORPG), Star Wars: The Old Republic, while also revealing ‘beta test weekends’ and three versions of the game “designed to delight RPG and Star Wars fans worldwide.”
DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have just formally announced a collector’s edition for Batman: Arkham City with images and details of the special package’s contents, too.
Available on launch of Rocksteady’s next amazingly exciting action adventure game in October across Europe and South Africa, this Batman: Arkham City collector’s edition will contain the following awesome-looking items:
Alongside a ‘Fall’ release window announcement for Warner Bros. Interactive and Snowblind Studios’ fantasy-themed action game RPG, Lord of the Rings: War in the North, the pair have released details and images for the game’s (massive) Collector’s Edition, with information on pre-order incentives available in North America.
Microsoft and developer Turn 10 Studios have today unveiled a super stylish limited collector’s edition of the pair’s Forza Motorsport 4, which will be presented in a Steelbook DVD Case and will include exclusive downloadable cars, VIP membership status in the Forza community, a special photo book and a set of vinyl stickers.
