Altus Continues First-Run Bonus Tradition With Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse Pin Set
Atlus has often treated its early adopters to a special treat for jumping in early. Art books, soundtracks, and other collectibles are often bundled in free with first-run copies of the publisher’s games.
For Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, players can wear their chosen path with pride. The first-run comes with a set of three metal pins bearing three different symbols.
Included are emblems matching the paths of peace and anarchy, as well as one representing the deity Dagda, who resurrects the player at the start. If you want a set, you’ll need to pre-order or otherwise get one of the first copies at launch.
Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse will be out on 3DS this summer. First-run editions cost the same as those that will be printed later: $49.99.
Our Take
One of the things I’ve always appreciated about Atlus is the way it approaches first-run copies of its games. Offering special add-ons to loyal fans at no additional cost is a great way to both incentivize early adoption and engender good will.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
