Square Enix is going all out for the launch of the rebooted Tomb Raider series. Game journalist and Doritos enthusiast Geoff Keighley will release a Kindle book about the game called The Final Hours of Tomb Raider, and now the publisher revealed its plans for a $99.99 Collector’s Edition release.

It stars, as usual, English archaeologist Lara Croft, although this game will completely rework her origin story.
The $99.99 Tomb Raider Collector’s Edition includes the following:
- 8-inch Lara Croft figurine: A posable action figure with 40 points of articulation.
- 15 inch-by-19 inch double-sided island map and poster: One side features a map of the island the game is set on and the other is a poster-sized version of the box art.
- 5 inch-by-7 inch lithographic print: Developer Crystal Dynamic’s senior art director, Brian Horton, designed this image of Lara. Artist Brenoch Adams painted it.
- Iron-on badges based on in-game icons: Lara earns “experience shields” in Tomb Raider, and the badges represent some of these.
- Tomb Raider soundtrack on CD: A 10-track disc with over 60 minutes of in-game music.
- Tomb Raider downloadable content: A weapon pack that Lara can use.
- Tin survival-kit packaging: Everything comes in a big box modeled after a survival kit from Tomb Raider.
The Collector’s Edition isn’t ready for preordering just yet, but Square Enix will offer it at Tombraider.com/preorder when it is available.
