Resident Evil 6 Collector's Edition detailed for UK, contains Resident Evil 6 DLC

Plus: Tall Oaks hoodie, Resident Evil emblems

Capcom has announced and detailed the Resident Evil 6 Collector's Edition, which will be exclusively available from unannounced retailer(s) in the UK. Do you like zombies? Do you like fashion? You should probably preorder this, then.

Besides the usual artbook, the CE contains a hoodie from Ivy University, Tall Oaks, one of the new Resident Evil's campaign locations. You'll explore it as Leon S. Kennedy, in what are reportedly the game's spookiest sections.

Here's the content sheet in full:

- Resident Evil 6 game

- Zombie Steel Book

- Exclusive Resident Evil 6 hardback artbook showing concept art from the game

- Resident Evil 6 Avatar DLC code for 360 owners OR an RE6 Dynamic Theme for PS3 owners

- Ivy University, Tall Oaks hooded sweatshirt (one size)

- 'The RE6 forces emblems' - High quality enamelled zinc alloy emblems of the three main protagonists squad insignias, mounted and set in a limited numbered frame authenticated with signatures from Senior producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi, Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi and RE6 Director Eiichiro Sasaki. A must have piece for any fan of Resident Evil!

- All of the above amazing goodies are bundled together in the lenticular 'Needle Bomb' collectors box (as seen in the RE6 announce trailer)

Sold? If you haven't got space in the cupboard for all that amazingness, you can always pick up the Resident Evil 6 Steelbook Edition - cheaper, compacter but still indicative of a respectable level of fan worship.

  1. I bet that will be quite expensive!! Not as expensive as the Japanese Collectors edition with replica Leon's Leather Jacket but still expensive!!

    I am really only interested in the game itself although a steel book case is always preferred! Would have prefeerred some more in-game DLC as Avatar stuff is really quite useless! These collectors editions (of any games) are going to be quite difficult to reproduce IF we go down the Download only route for gaming!!

  2. Collectors Editions don't really tempt me to be honest - though if I had nothing better to spend my money on, then perhaps I'd feel differently - but this selection seems quite nice. I think it's probably a good thing that there aren't any in-game bonuses, because that could lead to unbalanced multiplayer.

    I'm still looking forward to this game, just got to complete enough other games before then to clear the backlog.
