RE2 Collector’s Edition confirmed for Australia, Europe

Update 3: The Collector’s Edition is now available on JB Hi-Fi — if so inclined you can grab it here on Xbox One or here on PS4.

Update 2: The Gamesmen has confirmed with Stevivor that the suggested retail price of Resident Evil 2 Collector’s Edition has been set at $429 AUD.

As the tweet below reads, The Gamesmen is unsure if they’re going to offer the item for sale (so maybe get on Twitter and make your voice heard if you want it).

We’ve also heard rumours that the Collector’s Edition will be available in very limited quantities here in Australia, with retailer EB Games advising customers, “there’s nothing to confirm for this one at this stage.”

EB advised that customers “keep an eye out on our website as we keep it as up to date as possible.”

Update: Capcom has confirmed Australian availability, advising Aussies to check with local retailers for availability and pricing. We’ll update this story as we learn more.

Original story: The amazing RE2 Collector’s Edition already confirmed for North America has today been confirmed for Europe.

The Collector’s Edition comes with a bunch of stuff, but it’s really all about a 12″ figure of protagonist Leon S. Kennedy.

The Edition comes with the following, and differs slightly from the North American offering:

  • Steelbook Case (Includes Resident Evil 2 full game)
  • 12” Leon Kennedy Figurine
  • Limited Edition R.P.D. Keys
  • Collector’s Item Box
  • Artbook & Soundtrack CD
  • ‘Made in Heaven’ Pin Badge
  • Poster
  • Deluxe DLC Pack Card:
    • ‘Original Version’ Soundtrack
    • Leon Kennedy Costumes: Arklay Sheriff and Noir
    • Claire Redfield Costumes: Military, Noir and Elza Walker
    • Deluxe Weapon: Samurai Edge – Albert Model

Of note is a special ‘Made in Heaven’ Pin Badge not included in the NA version that honoUrs fellow protagonist Claire Redfield.

Moreover, two pre-order bonuses are also available:

  • Deluxe weapon: Samurai Edge – Chris model
  • Deluxe weapon: Samurai Edge – Jill model

Capcom has advised that those keen on the special edition check with their local retailer for availability and pricing. We’ve found it at GAME UK for £229.99 GBP.

The European confirmation has us hopeful about Australian availability — we’ve asked RE2‘s local distributor for comment and will update if there’s anything to be shared. If we get a special edition, it’s likely to mirror the European offering.

Resident Evil 2 heads to Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4 in January 2019. We previewed the game at E3 2018.
