The Skyrim Collector’s Edition has finally been announced by Bethesda during QuakeCon 2011.
The limited edition set will include some nifty extras for fans (although not as much as I hoped would be included) and will be available to pre-order soon for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, ahead of the Skyrim release date of November 11, 2011.
This same set will be available in all major territories (America, Europe and Australia). However it comes at a steep price of $150 (US), €149.99 (Europe), £129.99 (UK), and A$199.99 (Australia)
Here is what this premium version includes:
Skyrim Game
A copy of the highly anticipated Skyrim videogame on your system of choice.
Alduin – The World Eater Statue
Created in conjunction with the IP Factory, this collector’s only statue stands 12” tall and is made of high quality PVC. Modeled from actual in-game 3D digital files, it showcases Alduin, the World Eater. He stands perched atop one the game’s many dragon walls that teach the player the lethal language of dragons.
The Art of Skyri’ Official Art Book
Featuring over 200 pages of striking, full-color illustrations, sketches and models, this stunning 9 3/8” x 12 1/8” coffee table book showcases the characters, creatures, environments, and weaponry of Skyrim. With a foreword by game director Todd Howard and commentary from Bethesda Game Studios artists, readers will be guided through the game’s iconic visual style.
The Making of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim DVD
This documentary DVD contains exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage, including interviews with the Bethesda Game Studios team as they take you from concept to creation and provide insights into the story, gameplay, setting, legacy of the Elder Scrolls franchise, and much more.
A cloth map of the world is also included. Note that many people are upset that this set includes a PVC model, which they say is like cheap plastic…
