Europe's Dark Souls Trilogy Collector's Edition is pretty swish

Bandai Namco has unveiled its Collector's Edition for the recently announced European Dark Souls Trilogy, available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It's a decently desirable offering for enthusiasts - but it certainly doesn't come cheap.

As you'd expect, the Dark Souls Trilogy Collector's Edition includes all three Dark Souls titles (in their Dark Souls Remastered, Dark Souls II: Scholar of The First Sin, and Dark Souls III: The Fire Fades guises), and each is accompanied by all associated DLC.

There's also a six-disc soundtrack, featuring music from each game, and a 460-page compendium - which includes illustrated maps (with boss and NPC locations), an item encyclopaedia, a bestiary of enemies and bosses, plus a manuscript of all dialogue.

Lastly, and presumably most responsible for the Collector's Edition's £449.99 asking price, is a numbered, hand-painted statue, measuring 34cm in height and titled Elite Knight at the Bonfire. It is, in all fairness, a pretty handsome looking figurine - although I think I still prefer the similarly modelled bookends that came as part of the £330-ish Trilogy Box in Japanese.

According to Bandai Namco, a total of 2,000 Dark Souls Trilogy Collector's Editions will be available to Xbox One, PS4, and PC players in Europe, and interested parties can pre-order them via the publisher's website. Both the fancy £450 edition and the considerably cheaper standard edition (which includes a digital soundtrack) will be available from May 31st.
