Collector’s Edition

Since the very first release of World of Warcraft you've been able to acquire the game in a special Collector's Edition box, and for every expansion since -- as well as on the 15th Anniversary -- players can add a box of physical goodies to their shelf. Dragonflight, of course, continues this tradition with the standard art book and mousepad, as well as the more recent common inclusion of pins (which seems to be the go-to replacement for the late, lamented expansion soundtrack CD).

Dragonflight opened up for preorders this week, and the latest World of Warcraft expansion will continue the trend of previous expansions and offer a physical Collector's Edition as well.

The much-anticipated Shadowlands livestream opened with displaying the physical Collector's Edition and, after Battle for Azeroth's disappointing collection, I have to say I'm tentatively impressed.

In the past, Blizzard has been slow to announce just how it will handle digital bonuses for the people who collect the physical Collector's Editions — but this year Blizzard let us know how it will handle Shadowlands' many editions in advance, which is a pleasant surprise. During Legion, people who bought the Collector's Edition of the game also had to order a digital copy to get pre-order bonuses, they could gift a copy of the digital game to friends when their Collector's Edition arrived.

Despite Overwatch 2 carrying the number of a sequel, a majority of the stuff included in it is available right now.

WoW is turning 15 this year, and for such a milestone event Blizzard is pulling out all the stops.

In a bit of a departure from previous expansions, World of Warcraft Shadowlands will offer one base game and two special editions with tiers of various digital goodies.

Warcraft 3: Reforged doesn't have a release date (though the beta is starting soon), but one thing we know for certain is that its collector's edition will come with lots of extra goodies — and not just for Warcraft 3 itself.

To celebrate 15 years of WoW, Blizzard announced the World of Warcraft 15th Anniversary Collector's Edition in May, which was a bit of a surprise.

WoW is turning 15 years old this November, and to celebrate they're not only holding an anniversary event in-game (with mount and pet rewards), but also offering a pretty fancy Anniversary Collector's Edition.
