The upcoming physical edition will include all of this on top of the base game and the four large DLC packages that have preceded it: Rise of the Giant, The Bad Seed, Fatal Falls and The Queen and the Sea.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-orders for the physical copy of the game are now open from a range of outlets including direct from <a href=\"https:\/\/signatureeditiongames.com\/search?type=product&amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last&amp;q=Dead%20Cells%3A%20Return%20to%20Castlevania%20Signature%20Edition&amp;_kx=jpCQKZ7jMTEGBKaaZKBP-3kKouo6TDhIuonEGQTOzt0%3D.W4ThiS\">Signature Edition Games<\/a> and there are a couple of different options to choose from depending on how many bonus goodies you want to get your hands on.<\/p>\n<p>The Standard Edition is nice enough for taking pride of place on your gaming shelves, containing only the physical copy of the game with some retro-inspired reversible cover art, but the Signature Edition is where it&#8217;s at if you are after some tie-in merch. This copy comes with a huge range of bonuses including pins, an art book, pictures, a CD soundtrack and much more.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania Signature Edition\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/011c9c7763077\/dead-cells-return-to-castlevania-signature-edition.large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5MDAgNTA2Ij48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/011c9c7763077\/dead-cells-return-to-castlevania-signature-edition.900x.jpg\" alt=\"Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania Signature Edition\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\">Image: Motion Twin<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We still have a couple of months to go before this one releases later this summer, but that will surely make our return to the castle feel all the sweeter.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/nintendo-switch\/related-articles:146191 @ 2023-05-24T08:23:44+01:00 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p><em>Will you be picking up the physical edition of Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania?
