The Dark Pictures Anthologyfrom Supermassive Games has built a cult following of horror fans across the world. Three games have been released so far, includingMan of Medan,Little Hope, andHouse of Ashes, with a fourth recently announced for release in 2022. The next game,The Dark Pictures: The Devil in Me, will lock players in a haunted hotel and wrap up the current anthology. To celebrate the occasion and offerThe Dark Picturefans a special opportunity, Bandai Namco has confirmed a unique collector’s edition forThe Devil in Me.
Bandai Namco is calling it the Animatronic Collector’s Edition, a special package just forThe Dark Pictures: The Devil in Me. It’s an $89.99 bundle featuring not only the fullThe Devil in Megame but also some great merchandise. The most important item is an 11cm animatronic bust of a horrific robotic figure. The bust itself doesn’t appear to be animatronic, but rather is a resin figure of an animatronic assumedly found withinThe Devil in Me.

Additional merchandise found withinThe Dark Pictures: The Devil in Me’s Animatronic Collector’s Edition starts with the packaging itself, a box with a unique design that will fit all of the bundle’s content. After that, there’s an exclusive map of the hotel fromThe Devil in Me, a postcard featuring an outside look of theWorld’s Fair Hotelalong with an envelope to hold it, as well as a special business card for Lonnit Entertainment, the documentary company that gets trapped in the horror hotel.
Lastly, those pre-ordering the collector’s edition will also get a pre-order bonus. It’s called the Curator’s Cut Early Access, a voucher code that will unlock “previously unavailable scenes with different playable characters, new choices, different outcomes.” Exactly what this means may be further elaborated on bySupermassiveat some point in the future.
Collector’s Editions aren’t rare forThe Dark Pictures franchise, of course.House of Asheshad a Pazuzu Editionfeaturing an Underworld Creature figurine.Little Hopehad a Collector’s Edition featuring a 15cm figure for Mary’s Ragdoll.Man of Medanmay have been the only game in the series without one, but its success likely proved the need for future games to deliver.
It should be clear that 11cm is not very large, so fans ofThe Dark Picture Anthologyshouldn’t expect a massive statue. But for those willing to spend $50 over the $39.99 retail price forThe Dark Pictures: The Devil in Mewill get a fun collectible item in return. For fans of the horror franchise, it may be exactly what they want.
