Axiom Verge was a fantastic Metroidvania that launched late in the Wii U’s life, so it was a welcome inclusion when it got a port on the Switch earlier this month. Though that was just the digital version, we knew that a physical copy—dubbed Axiom Verge: Multiverse Edition—would be coming out in the ensuing weeks. A date has now been attached to this release for the region of North America.
Axiom Verge: Multiverse Edition will be on store shelves on 21st November, just a week away from now. The package will come with a cartridge of Axiom Verge, a two-sided poster, a behind-the-scenes documentary on Blu-ray, an art book, and an exclusive CD soundtrack. The European version is still on the way, with more information on the way soon. And for those of you still rocking the Wii U, a physical release is still on the way, too.
What do you think? Will you be picking this up? How did you like Axiom Verge? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

I’ve got this preordered, and unlike Rime, I won’t be cancelling.
Rime just failed on so many levels.
What's the price? There's a lot of content here for those interested.
Kinda wish I would have waited. Oh well I purchased digital and I love it!
Definitely a day one buy for me even though I got it digitally on my Wii U and PS Vita already.
Gosh I know this makes me a horrible customer but I hope they have a digital sale to go with this or for Black Friday lol. Never really cared for Metroid but this seems pretty interesting, but for $20 there’s way safer purchases.
I'm still rocking the Wii U aka Switch prototype.
I've been waiting for the Wii U version for what seems like an eternity.
Yup.
To think, I actually used to want this physically on Wii U. I told myself ya know, I have a pretty complete collection so even after Switch releases, I'll still grab the boxed version for Wii U also.
Now, I couldn't care less. It's all about the Switch.
Price seems like a silly detail to exclude from the article. Looks like $40 after Googling it. Will just download instead as I don’t really want the extras.
Physical editions are always welcome! I think I pick this one up.
Always try to get physical editions of games which interest me. Been wanting to try this out, so have it pre-ordered at Amazon. So $32 with prime.
For people not knowing this, Multiverse Edition on the is Switch is the only one that gets the physical soundtrack (reason why the price is higher).
Also at least in EU just like the PS4 version there will be a regular lose Switch copy. (for around €25)
Also Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack will be arriving in retail stores on the same day
Will have to pick up the retail versions for Switch PS4 & Wii U! 😃
No thanks, but I am happy for everybody that can get the physical copy.
Glad I never bought this digitally. I've had this pre-ordered for the Wii U for months, ever since it was meant to release in October. Happy to wait for January for it (its current release date), looks like it may be the last physical release for Wii U. I bet nobody thought the Wii U would get a physical release in 2018!
Wake me up when they stop teasing North American Wii U fans with their non-existent physical version.
@retro_player_22 I want the wiiu physical
GAME and Amazon for UK have the physical copy down for release on Jan 26th.
Nice! One can play the game on their Switch, glance over at the Blu ray on their PS4, while rocking the CA soundtrack for background ambience on their PS3. Multiple devices hoorah! 😜
I'll be buying the Wii U physical version.
Triple dipping would be crazy since I already own it on both Wii U and switch. I am also buying 6 games in 5 weeks totaling over $300. I need time to play them.
Have preordered 3 versions but the Multiverse Wii U and Vita editions had to be from Amazon Spain as no UK based sites were offering them apart from 365games (they sold out and are likely sourcing them from Mainland Europe).
I bought this a few years back on PS4 and love it. I've beaten it multiple times and listen to the soundtrack regularly.
Finally!!
Have been waiting for this game for quite some time now. I wanted physical so yeah. First time playing the game so hopefully it is as fun and good as everybody says it is.
Btw, does anybody knows what happen to Azure Striker Gunvolt Collection physical?
Been waiting for a release date for a long time.
Same with Battlechasers. All physical copies ordered not a single one with release date.
@JJ286 Azure Striker Gunvolt physical release is 11-21-17, same as axiom verge. I plan on picking both up day one! That's if you live in U.S.A.
I bought this and rime. To be honest. I stutter when I get excited, so why should I be mad at Rime when it has it's moments.
@Fearful-Octopus don't live in US but works the same. Thanks for the info!! 😉
