Extra Physical/Collectible Offerings
CD Projekt has always had the usual Collector’s Editions like everyone else, packed with goodies for the biggest Witcher fans. However, more impressive than that is everything the developer has crammed into each of the normal versions of their game. Fans have always gotten a little bonus when they purchase a physical copy of a Witcher game. The Enhanced Edition of the first Witcher came with the entire soundtrack, a three-hour ‘making of’ DVD, map, guide to the entire game and even an excerpt from “The Last Wish,” the book that introduced The Witcher.
After that, normal editions of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings would also come with: a game guide, ‘making of’ disc, soundtrack, map, papercraft characters and a collectible letter and coin. To round things off we have the physical editions of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt that all come packed with: a map of the game, soundtrack, wolf head stickers and a compendium with information on the Witcher’s universe and characters.
As if everything that came with the three games wasn’t enough, CD Projekt had a surprise in store for fans with The Witcher 3’s DLC as well. Physical versions of each expansion pack released in select stores with real-life actual Gwent cards from the game. However, anyone who purchased the game digitally could got to CD Projekt’s site, show proof of purchase and receive a code to buy the Gwent decks separately. All of these are small bonuses, but they show that extra bit of care from a developer like CD Projekt Red.
