The standard edition will cost <strong>\u20ac29.99 \/ $34.99<\/strong>,comes with a manual, and will be limited to 4,000 copies on Switch.<\/p>\n<p>But, for not even double the price, the collector&#8217;s edition will only have 3,000 copies printed for Switch, and the price will be <strong>\u20ac59.99 \/ $65.99<\/strong>.
