For fans of Ubisoft's beloved action-adventure game, Beyond Good & Evil, a special milestone has just been marked with the release of the 20th Anniversary Edition. Available digitally for some time, the game has been praised for its wonderfully remastered visuals and engaging gameplay that brings the classic back to life. For those who hold a special place for tangible collections, there's exciting news: the Collector's Edition, which promises even more for the enthusiasts.
Starting July 12, fans will have the opportunity to preorder this exclusive edition, made available through Limited Run Games, a company known for its dedication to releasing physical versions of digital games. Priced at $124.99, or the equivalent in your local currency, the Collector's Edition is designed to appeal to both collectors and new fans of the franchise.
This edition isn’t just another boxed copy of the game—it's an elaborate package that contains several exclusive items likely to excite any fan or collector. First among the contents is a double-sided poster featuring iconic artwork that captures the essence of the game's narrative and characters. Accompanying this is an art book packed with behind-the-scenes looks and concept art that shows the progression from sketches to the finished in-game environments and characters.
Adding to the celebratory nature of this edition is a series of photo art prints, perfect for framing or as an addition to a fan’s archive. Another standout piece is the metal pin, an emblem of the game that can be worn or displayed as a part of a collection. Perhaps the crown jewel of this collection is the hovercraft statuette, an intricately designed replica of the in-game vehicle that many players have piloted through the richly designed world of Hillys.
Moreover, an intriguing addition to the game’s content itself paints an even more tempting picture for enthusiasts. A newly included scene creates a narrative bridge linking the original Beyond Good & Evil to its long-awaited sequel, Beyond Good & 2, which is still under development. This link provides both a callback to longtime fans and an intriguing welcome to newcomers, making the Collector's Edition a potential keepsake that holds both nostalgic and future value.
The Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition wasn't merely thrown together; it respects its roots and the community that has cherished the game since its original release. Available for both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, this edition ensures that players across different generations can enjoy the experience.
As the release date for preorders draws close, Ubisoft reassures fans that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is still in the pipeline. Despite the waits and silence often surrounding its development, the inclusion of a direct link to the sequel in this remastered edition acts as a reassurance of ongoing progress.
Ubisoft’s careful curation of this Collector’s Edition speaks to a trend in the gaming industry: blending digital experiences with physical collectibles that enhance the overall experience. It’s an homage not only to the game’s impact over the last two decades but also to the continued devotion of its fan base, who will no doubt be eager to get their hands on this limited release.
Whether you’re a longtime fan eager to revisit Hillys with updated visuals and collectibles or a newcomer intrigued by the rich storytelling and vibrant world, the Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition Collector's Edition offers something unique and memorable to everyone.
