The Dark Souls Trilogy Has A New Collector Edition To Shell Out For

Dark Souls Trilogy

Another collector’s edition has hit the market for the Dark Souls Trilogy to hurt your bank as much as Dark Souls hurts you in the game

It has not been that long since the Dark Souls Trilogy launched on the PS4 and Xbox One. If you are a huge fan of the franchise and what FromSoftware is doing, then you most likely picked it all up again to play through all of the titles. Now, almost three months after that launch to the Dark Souls line it looks like Bandai Namco will be offering fans a new collector’s edition for the game. This seems like an odd move to do, but if you have a spare £449.99 (~ $578.94 USD) sitting around you can snag this beefy looking bundle. You also need to be based in the European area to be able to pick it up as well.

This new bundle for the Dark Souls Trilogy will house the three remastered titles and all of their DLC to date as well as a soundtrack from the franchise, a 460-page compendium, and a 34cm (~ 13.5 in) Elite Knight statue. All of the statues are hand painted and numbered with the limit of 2000 being made. That by itself could warrant the price tag, so take note if you are a super fan of Dark Souls and need something to make you stand out from the rest. You can have a look at what should be coming in this set when they start shipping later this year and spaced out given the time needed to do all of the painting.

Dark Souls Trilogy — Collector Edition

From 31^st May 2019, Dark Souls fans will be able to own the Dark Souls Trilogy Collector Edition — including all three critically-acclaimed Dark Souls games and associated DLC — for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

  • And a 460-page Dark Souls Trilogy compendium* — containing illustrated maps with boss and NPC locations, item encyclopedia, a bestiary of enemies and bosses, and a manuscript of all dialogue from each game reiterate

Due to the time needed to hand-paint each statue and ensure the highest quality, the delivery will start on the 31^st May and will extend throughout June. First-come, first served!
