Epic Reveals Limited Edition Gears 3 Bonuses
You can't release a major game these days without some kind of limited edition bundle, so it should come as no surprise that Gears of War 3 has a pair of special editions in the hopper. What might surprise you, however, is just how much stuff is bundled in with both versions.
The Limited Edition of the game is available for $79.99. It includes the game and the following items, described by Epic Games:
- An Octus Award Box with Octus Service Medal – A 1:1 match in size and weight, this zinc-alloy cog-shaped medal replicates the award given to Adam Fenix in recognition of his work on the Hammer of Dawn. (Dimensions: 77 mm [3 in.] x 10 mm [0.4 in.])
- Exclusive Unlockable Adam Fenix Multiplayer Character – Each Octus Service Medal replica is engraved with a unique Xbox LIVE code that is the only way to unlock Adam Fenix in multiplayer
- A fabric COG Flag – Proud colors that once flew above the House of Sovereigns.
- The personal effects of Adam Fenix, including his “Last Will and Testament,” the initial Hammer of Dawn schematic, and other Fenix family mementos.
The Epic Edition will set you back $149.99. It contains everything from the Limited Edition, as well as the items described below:
- A Limited Edition Marcus Fenix Statue – Designed by
Epic Games Art Director Chris Perna and expertly crafted by the artisans
at Triforce, this fine PVC statue collectible makes the ultimate living
room centerpiece for any true “Gears” fan.
- Dimensions: height 285 mm (11.2 in.), diameter 225 mm (8.9 in.).
- Weight: 1.7 kg (3.7 lb.)
- The Art and Design of Gears of War by Tom Bissell - Through unprecedented access to the Epic Games team, acclaimed author Tom Bissell (Extra Lives) gives readers an incisive behind-the-scenes glimpse into one of the most celebrated sagas in video game history with 96 pages of interviews, photos, concept artwork and more.
- Infected Omen Weapon Pack -- Custom multiplayer skins for the game’s five starting weapons; Lancer, Retro Lancer, Hammerburst, Sawed-off Shotgun, and Gnasher Shotgun.
Both versions will be available when the game ships Sept. 20. Watch the video below for a look at the Marcus Fenix statue and access to Epic Games' art director Chris Perna's studio lair.
