Pre-orders are up and ready to go, and one of these pre-orders in particular has returned and is back up on the table (literally). I’ve got the inside scoop on what you’ll receive in your orders, and what to expect once you finally get it!
Let’s check it outttttttt!
We have a relaunch up first, New World Aeternum is up and ready again for pre-order. The game has lots of new content coming for players, and cross-platform servers, which means new opportunities to enjoy the delicious mix of survival with PvP and PvE-focused mechanics.
For my PlayStation and Xbox players this is what is included for you..
The standard edition of course comes with the base game, but also includes the Azoth Stalker Wolf Mount as a bonus for pre-ordering.
The Deluxe Edition includes the same, and also comes with the Corrupted Mauler Bear Mount, and Aeternum Corrupted Soul Armor Skin, and the Regular Corrupted Soul Armor Skin.
My PC players who previously purchased the game and the Rise of the Angry Earth Expansion will be able to enjoy the game with no additional cost.
If you’re looking to pre-order on Steam, the Rise of the Angry Earth Expansion includes all the content from the expansion itself and access to all the New World: Aeternum content. This however does not include the base game.
The New World Elysian Edition does include the base game, plus New World: Aeternum, and also includes the Rise of the Angry Earth Expansion content in all its glory.
Unfortunately there are no pre-order bonuses for my PC people, but players will be able to access content from the previous expansions and enjoy character progression boosts up to level 65.. AND you get a new storyline, and access to the Mount System that comes with the expansion, as well as the base mounts included with the DLC.
New World Aeternum launches on October 15, 2024 for Ps5, Xbox Series X/s, and PC. Console pre-load will start on October 13th, and PC pre-load will begin on October 14th during the programmed server maintenance.
Next up we have Mario and Luigi: Brothership pre-orders. Depending on where you pre-order this game, depends on what you may receive as a bonus.. And some of these are actual items, and not add ons for in game.
If you pre-order from Target, they are giving away a magnetic photo frame set featuring both Mario and Luigi on the front. You can only get this in stores on November 7th, and they are first come first serve.
Gametsop will be giving out an acrylic Keychain set of Mario and Luigi, so far the listing for the game online doesn’t say anything about it at the moment, however all your gamestops know what’s going on. You can choose to pre-order in shop, or you can go online to get it shipped to you.
BestBuy is also doing something special with their pre-order bonus, they are giving away a sharable pin set that you can share with a friend, or keep for yourself. The set features Mario and Luigi in the same position as GameStop's keychains.
One of the best pre-order bonuses is a little harder to get your hands on, a French retailer that goes by the name Micromania (whose parent company is GameStop), they have a steelbook featuring Mario and Luigi on both sides. Super cool.
Mario and Luigi: Brothership will be out November 7th.
I’ve got another pre-order for you that’s back up and running, and it’s going to make a whole lot of people super happy to hear about it.. Especially those who missed out on a chance to get it when it went live for pre-orders back earlier this spring.
Halo Flashpoint Starter boxes have hit online once again. Halo: Flashpoint is an upcoming tabletop strategy game produced by Mantic Games in conjunction with 343 Industries and Microsoft. Game modes included are from some of the classic scenarios from Halo including Slayer, Oddball, Capture the Flag, Stronghold, and Stockpile; with its main focus on Spartan and Elite battles.
Your box will contain 16 Spartan models, 4 banished Elite models, Rulebook, a sweet play mat, pre-colored card terrain and tokens, deluxe two sided play board, 20 weapons cards, extra terrain and tokens, 20 player and model cards, 3 reference cards, 12 D8 die, 8 command dice, and awesome plastic 3D arena accessories.
The second print run is currently up on the Mantic Pre-order page. If you order a second print run through them now then you’re guaranteed a box. Don’t fret either if you think this is just a flashy box they're trying to sell you, they have announced and shown their roadmap for early 2025 and there’s a whole bunch of cool stuff on the way. More Spartan fireteams, more terrain, more paints, and more ways to play.
The estimated shipping date for the second print will run starting spring of this next year in March.
The last delicious pre-order up and ready FINALLY for my PC player, Red Dead Redemption 2.
After 14 long years, since its original release. Rockstar officially announced a PC port this last week, and now the time has come, and it has officially hit the stores for pre-order.
Rockstar will be releasing Red Dead 2 across multiple storefronts, so you have a nice choice of where you would like the game to come from. You can choose the Rockstar Game Launcher, Epic Game store or Steam. The Epic Game store version will give you 5% back in epic rewards.
Rockstar has also revealed that they are celebrating this release by adding back a pair of classic items from the original Red Dead Redemption Frontier Collection: The playing cards and Liar’s Dice on their Rockstar Store.
Pricing is the same across all stores for Red Dead Redemption 2, and they also include the Undead Nightmare expansion, as well as bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition. Unfortunately that does not include multiplayer, but it’s because they’ve been working hard mainly focusing on graphics and compatibility. Hopefully we can get multiplayer sometime in the near future, once the game finally rolls out for PC.
Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released on October 29th.
Some of these pre-order were pretty sweet. I love cool in game items, but nothing beats real tangible collectables like the one we have for Mario and Luigi. I’m also super excited to finally see Red Dead 2 on PC.. it’s of course going to be as beautiful and immersive as it’s ever been.
Thanks for watching guys, and check back here for all your in game info!
