All you treasure-hunters eager to get back to Pandora are about to find your wait getting a lot more tantilising.

2K Games and Gearbox software have revealed their Special Edition version of the upcoming and highly-anticipated FPS/RPG.

There will be two different Special Editions for you bandit-shooting fiends to get your hands on: The Deluxe Vault Hunter’s Collectors Edition and the Ultimate Loot Chest Limited Edition.

Deluxe Vault Hunter’s Collectors Edition

The Collector’s Edition will include the game, art book, Marcus Kincaid bobble-head, map, stickers and digital goodies packed into its box.

Ultimate Loot Chest Limited Edition

The underwhelmingly named ‘Limited Edition’ will include everything that is found in the Collector’s Edition, plus a steelbook game case, Pandora creature chart, postcard set, Sir Hammerlock’s field notes, a cloth Pandora map, and more, all packed into your very own loot locker (similar to the ones found scattered around Pandora). There’s a limited quantity, and each is packed with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
