Square Enix have finally announced a US Collector’s Edition for their upcoming Tomb Raider reboot. The CE is similar to the UK version that was announced last month, but here’s a recap of what’s on offer.
UK Survival Edition
The Survival Edition is basically the “lite” version of the Collector’s Edition.
- Art Book: A 32-page mini art book compiled by Tomb Raider Art Director Brian Horton, depicting Lara’s epic adventure through original concept art.
- 15” x 19” Double Sided Island Map and Poster: Discover key landmarks from the mysterious island of Yamati, where Lara Croft and her fellow castaways were marooned after the Endurance shipwreck. On the reverse is a poster size image of the box art that epitomizes Lara’s origin story.
- Waterproof Survival Pouch: A waterproof re-sealable adventure pouch for storing key items you’ll need to protect when fighting off scavengers on the island.
- CD Soundtrack: Tomb Raider Original Soundtrack ‘Survivalist cut’: A collection of 10 tracks totaling over 60 minutes of music from the game.
- Downloadable Content: Weapons Pack – A selection of weapons to help Lara survive against the island’s inhabitants.
UK Collector’s Edition
The UK Collector’s Edition has all the inclusions from the Survival Edition in addition to the following:
- Play Arts Kai Lara Croft Figurine: Fully posable figurine with over 40 points of articulation. The dirt on her body and clothes has been realistically recreated to tell the tale of Lara’s fierce fight for survival on a desolate island. Comes with alternate set of three (3) hands, bow and arrow, shotgun, handgun, and climbing axe. Figure Size: Approx 8.0” Tall.
- Endurance Survival Kit Packaging: A survival tin salvaged from the ill-fated Endurance. The tin houses a copy of the game and the Lara Croft Play Arts Kai figure.
North America Collector’s Edition
The just-announced North American Collector’s Edition is similar to the UK version except for two items. Instead of the Survival Pouch, you get 3 Iron on Badges, and you get a Lithograph instead of the art book. At this stage there does not appear to be a Survival Edition equivalent for those who don’t want the figure.
At this stage, I’d have to say the UK version is superior due to the inclusion of the art book. The UK Collector’s Edition costs £59.99, whilst the US version is priced at $99 USD.
Gamestop don’t have it listed yet, but you can preorder at Zavvi using the links below.
