The highest tier of theElden Ringeditions that gamers will be able to preorder is called theElden RingPremium Collector’s Edition which will include a replica helmet from the game that is 1:1 scale, an exclusive steelbook, the digital soundtrack, a 40-page hard-cover artbook, a statue of Malenia - Blade of Miquella and the game itself of course.

The regularElden RingCollector’s Editionwill have everything that the Premium Collector’s edition has besides the replica helmet. FromSoftware did, however, announce that players from Europe, the Middle East, and Africa will be able to purchase theElden RingLaunch Edition which will be exclusive to these regions only. The Launch Edition will contain very different items to the other collector’s editions such as a poster, a set of stickers, a woven patch, and art cards.
Bandai Namco deciding to exclusively offer the Launch edition in certain regions may upset some players who have decided to preorder the Collector’s Edition or the Premium Collector’s Edition. This is due to the fact that the Collector’s Edition will retail for $189.99 and the Premium Collector’s Edition most likely even more than that when the price is finally announced. It is also now uncertain as to whether more stock will be made available or if consumers will be able to buy similar editions from other retailers.
Elden Ringunveiled its Collector’s Editions alongside a new gameplay videowhich seems to show that FromSoftware is taking a different approach to the well-known and lovedSoulsformula. TheElden RingCollector’s Edition will have a map, item crafting, and even have mounts that players will be able to use.
The game will also include stealth which is something the developers may have decided to add after the success ofSekiro: Shadows Die Twice.FromSoftware may have made these moves in order to make the game more accessible to the general populace which will, in turn, enhance sales figures.
Elden Ringis releasing for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on June 08, 2025.
