Let’s have a show of hands who are the suckers of Collector’s Edition video games that comes with a bunch of goodies? If you are one, and you have been eagerly anticipating the first China-made AAA video game Black Myth: Wukong aka Heishenghua, well, Game Science has something exciting for you.
Game Science has recently revealed The Black Myth: Wukong Collector’s Edition and a Deluxe Edition—both packing some delightful merch. But before we get to that, you may want to know that pre-orders for any edition will get you an in-game item, the “Trailblazer’s Scarlet Gourd”.
That’s not really exciting because you’d be able to obtain this item as you progress through the game which leaves me with more question marks. The real star attraction for collectors who want real merch is the Deluxe Edition and the holy grail Collector’s Edition.
The Deluxe Edition includes a Steel Case with Steam Digital Deluxe Edition activation code, a ‘Chaos at the Peach Banquet’ color print on silk scroll, a warranty certificate presented in traditional Chinese letters, collectible stamps and a postcard, a ’Thunderstone’ ring, a wind chime necklace, a Gold Sun Crow pin, and the star of this edition: a 1:1 bronze Constricting Headband.
If you are looking for the ultimate in collectability, then it would be the Collector’s Edition which includes a Steel Case with Steam Digital Deluxe Edition activation code, a ‘Teaching of the Heart Sutra’ color print on silk scroll, a warranty certificate presented in traditional Chinese letters, collectible stamps and a postcard, a ’Thunderstone’ ring, a wind chime necklace, a Gold Sun Crow pin, and the star of this edition: a 40 cm (15.7 inches) ‘Confront Destiny’ figure/statue featuring the protagonist.
The Deluxe Edition sells for US$169.99 while the Collector’s Edition commands a cool US$399.99. They are available from third-party authorized retailers like Playasia.
