For true night hunters, Bandai Namco is adding more content. In addition to the digital versions, "The Blood of Dawnwalker" will receive a comprehensive Collector's Edition including a high-quality statue from PureArts.
Anyone wanting to own the full dark fantasy experience will have to dig deep into their pockets: the Collector's Edition will set you back €199,99. This clearly targets core fans who are willing to place their trust in the new studio, Rebel Wolves. The centerpiece of the edition is undoubtedly the 23 cm tall Coen figurine, crafted by the experts at PureArts, renowned in the industry for their meticulous attention to detail.
Physical goodies for lore fans
While the Eclipse Edition for The Blood of Dawnwalker While the additional content is only available digitally, the Collector's Edition offers a truly tactile experience. The physical world compendium is particularly noteworthy: a 60-page hardcover book that likely delves deeper into the dark history of the 14th century than the digital version.
Contents at a glance:
- Coen figure (23 cm): High-quality statue of the protagonist from PureArts.
- Physical hardcover compendium: 60 pages of concentrated background information.
- World map (33 x 40 cm): Essential for the open-world feeling.
- Steelbook & Collector's Box: The classic display case fodder.
- All digital content: The soundtrack, comic, and the digital upgrade of the Eclipse Edition are also included.
The digital bonus for all pre-orders is interesting: the Sangoran Traveler's armor set. Rebel Wolves takes a player-friendly approach here, as it's simply an early unlock. This means that those who don't pre-order can still earn the armor later in the game. This takes the pressure off and prevents the classic "pre-order anxiety" of missing out on something exclusive. Store customers also receive gold-plated stickers and a bookmark – nice extras, but certainly not a reason to buy on their own.
Premium price for premium quality?
200 EUR is a hefty price tag, especially for a new IP. But the collaboration with PureArts suggests they're not using cheap plastic here. The inclusion of the physical world map and compendium sends a strong message to the community, which prefers "real" collectibles to purely digital upgrades. Guaranteed shipping to Release on September 3rd Furthermore, it is a promise that Bandai Namco intends to keep for pre-orders placed up to ten days before release.
The Collector's Edition makes a statement. It shows that Bandai Namco firmly believes in the success of "The Blood of Dawnwalker." For fans of dark world design and high-quality statues, the package is well-rounded. However, those unsure whether the game's time system will truly resonate with them might want to stick with the standard version for now—after all, the statue isn't going anywhere.
