Was the Collector’s Edition of Batman: Arkham Origins just not special enough for you? EB Games announced today that Australia and New Zealand will get the exclusive Definitive Collector’s Edition. You know: for definitive collectors.
Containing a different LED statue and a whole bunch of other swag, the definitive collection will set you back a cool $139. The “lesser” Collector’s Edition, which is still bundled with a statue, an 80-page hardcover and lots of DLC, is a mere $118. That’s not bad value at all for all the gubbins that are included.
Although the game serves as a prequel to the other Arkham games, with eight of the world’s greatest assassins coming to Gotham City on Christmas Eve to kill Batman, it does involve the work of previous producers Rocksteady Games. Further, it won’t feature a script by the legendary Paul Dini nor the voice talent of Kevin Conroy. It still looks pretty cool though.
Batman: Arkham Origins is released worldwide on 25 October for PS3, X-Box 360, Wii-U and PC.
