We knew that Devilish platformer Cuphead was getting a physical release, but it turns out there will be a lovely Collector's Edition, as well. Developer Studio MDHR has partnered with publisher iam8bit for the endeavour (which will launch on 6th December) and released a trailer that probably took far more effort to create than was strictly necessary.
The Collector's Edition comes with Cuphead and the Delicious Last Course DLC on the same PS4 disc, an 8" handcrafted Cuphead marionette, a hand-crank music box, six Cuphead Funnies, an individually numbered Cuphead Club membership card, an Inkwell Isles poster, a fancy game case, interior artwork and transforming Infamous Asbestos Safety Curtain outer box. Phew!
While certainly a looker, good things don't come cheap. The Collector's Edition will set you back $200 or £181.90, which is a decent chunk of change. There is also a pretty snazzy pair of vinyl soundtracks going, one for both the base game and the DLC, if you feel like spending even more money.
What do you think of Cuphead's Collector edition? Who's going for the Platinum? Get fired up in the comments section below.

I think I'll actually get this on the Nintendo Switch, as Digital Foundry has shown that there is zero graphical difference. Only the initial loading times is about 4 seconds longer on Nintendo Switch.
This is due the fact that the physical game doesn't come with a PS5 gamecase. My OCD would be triggered, LOL.
If it came with a PS5 gamecase, that would have been my preffered choice.
Damn it's awesome. I want it. Only thing missing is a steel case.
It comes out on my birthday so maybe it will be a birthday present
Definitely picking up the physical edition as I've never played them. They look like the type of game you want to own and play again sometime in the future.
200 bucks for the other edition though... Lol
@ThaBEN
Why would there be a PS5 game case when the game doesn't have a native PS5 release?
@PegasusActual93
Because I own a PS5, prefer physical games and don't like to have last-gen gamecases
Better question could be, why is the game not coming to PS5 when it has a release date of December 2022
@ThaBEN
The collector's edition in December you mean, that is just the same exact game but released physically on a disc. And because the developers made it clear that they are not making a native PS5 or Series X release of the game. Why would you have a game marked on a PS5 game case when it is specifically a PS4 game. That would just confuse consumers.
I don't see any legitimate reason that collector's edition should be SO pricey. As far as I see, the only thing adding notable cost is the marionette, and the MOST I can see that being worth is $40, and that's generous. Everything else is just some paper and cardboard.
I adore Cuphead, but this really seems like highway robbery.
been waiting for this for a long time. a physical ps4 release of cuphead is long overdue to say the least. looking forward to playing the DLC as well!
I already got the digital version with all the dlcs.usually i got for the ps4 physical disc.but i bought cuphead last year in the summer and the dlcs. Couple months ago.word up son
@BoldAndBrash @paulbuck1996 Yeah as tempting as the Collector's Edition is, I will only be buying the Standard Edition this Holiday.
