NCsoft is releasing a collector's-edition version of its upcoming City of Villains
massively multiplayer online role-playing game, the quasi-sequel to City of Heroes, filled with knickknackery for aspiring tyrants and world devourers.
Ringing up at a weighty $79.99, the collector's edition includes a number of freebies to entice consumers. The extra $30 (the standard edition is $49.99) will net gamers an art book covering both City of Villains as well as City of Heroes, two exclusive in-game items, a City of Heroes trading card pack along with a separate limited-edition card, seven City of Heroes/City of Villains HeroClix figures, and a HeroClix map.
Gamers who preorder either version of City of Villains from select retailers will also receive free access to the game's beta test, a two-day head start on playing the final game before it ships to retail, an exclusive in-game item that varies from retailer to retailer, a limited-edition poster, and a CD-ROM full of videos, wallpapers, art, screenshots, and more.
City of Villains is slated to ship October 30.
