Owlboy has been fluttering its wings on the Nintendo eShop since February - and it mightily impressed our very own Ryan Craddock, scoring a 9/10 - and now developer D-Pad Studio is teaming up with Dutch publisher Sodesco to launch an extra deluxe physical edition that's going to send collectors wild.
Alongside the standard physical edition, this deluxe edition is limited to 6,000 units alongside the PS4 version, so if you're into your physical editions this is one to grab before it sells out. Sodesco will be releasing more news on the contents of this edition soon, and we imagine it'll be launching alongside the standard version on 29th May.
Will you be investing in a physical edition of Owlboy? Have you waited until now to play it? Share your thoughts on the news below...

Nah. I never even finished playing the digital version I bought ages ago.
Haven't bought this yet so if the price is right maybe.
I have preordered it, at a very low price thanks to Amazon Price, but depending on the contents of the deluxe edition I might cancel it.
I have the standard physical release pre-ordered and due to ship soon, that'll be enough for me.
It depends on the contents of the limited edition. Even though I already have the standard version preordered, I'm a sucker for art books and soundtracks.
O_O
My poor, poor wallet.
na, the box looks better than the actual game. Wish they do this for Hollow Knight on the Switch.
Something like the LE Double LP. It would be amazing.

Rats...checked Amazon Canada and they have the standard physical pre-order but not this deluxe one. I'm a sucker for deluxe editions.
I have been waiting for yhe physical version but I will not get tempted by this special editions anymore. Standard for me.
I'd love a proper artbook. Hoping FanGamer or Udon come to the rescue as they did great jobs on the Hyper Light Drifter and Shovel Knight artbooks respectively.
And while we're at it let's get a Flinthook artbook too!
Standard is fine for me. I don’t like the special edition ones anyway... just takes up too much room and looks terrible next to the other game cases.
Geez, I know we've been asking for physical versions all the time, but I think this superdeluxe-extramegalimited-toallyexclusive edition trend is getting out of hand now...
@RetroGamerAndrew there's a regular physical edition too. Let people who want this stuff have their fun : )
Owlboy is a good game, but sadly I found it fairly short. To short to spend more than 30 bucks. So if the price is right I may snatch it up. Otherwise great game, but for a hefty price it just simply isn’t worth it.
I’ve been holding out buying digital for the physical edition I have preordered. But now that this showed up I’m going to be watching this one. I cannot wait to play this game finally—been waiting for it what seems like forever!
As the game will be a smaller file size and cheaper to buy digitally I won't be going for the physical version.
Hard to say when we have no clue of the price or what’s in it.
@wazlon
i thought retail always used less memory
I've been waiting on this one. Looks like a great game if the price is right. I'm interested in the standard physical version. Not sure what price I'd buy in at, got so many games I haven't finished yet. I can wait for a good price.
Well, I already have the regular physical edition preordered, but if this is good and at a decent price, I might cancel that and try for the this edition.
I'm waiting for an update so that the game includes a map... read somewhere it does not have it. Getting lost in this kind of game is not good...
As a kid, Collector’s Editions of games seemed like a waste, and as an adult, I still mostly agree. But that’s just for me. I’ll probably buy Death Stranding as a Collector’s version and that’ll be it for this generation of consoles
keep on flying because you wont be landing on my shelf.
I don't really see the point of physical editions of games that take up less than a gigabyte. I mean I love to get physical editions when a game takes up around 2+ GB if available (anything over 3GB seems to be mandatory these days), but for small indie games like this, there is just no point.
Pretty cool. The standard physical is already on my must buy list, might take the plunge on this premium edition if it looks good.
I'm assuming the red box is for Switch and the blue box is PS4?
@PaulDuran Sorry, I meant it's an indie game so file sizes are a lot smaller than a game like Super Mario Odyssey.
I havnt played this yet and I'm sucker for metroidvanias so If I have money when the pre-order of this goes live I'll defo be getting it...itl be the rarest thing I have in my collection.
