It is expected that the upcoming "Resident Evil 7" game will include a Collector's Edition which will include a number of bonus items.

According to GameReactor, a leaked listing for the Italian Gamestop has featured a Collector's Edition for the new "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" game. However, it seems that the bundle is geared towards the more hardcore fans of the franchise, as it only includes bonus item tie-ins for the game. Unlike other special editions, the "Collector's Edition" for "Resident Evil 7" will reportedly not include the game itself.

In the supposed list, the "Collector's Edition" will include a 20th anniversary art book, five game lithographs, a model version of the exact replica of the Baker family house, and a 16-GB USB flash stick shaped as a dummy finger that was seen in the "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" demo.

Meanwhile, even if the package will not include the game itself, the "Resident Evil 7: Collector's Edition" will also come with in-game bonuses like three alternate covers and an exclusive in-game DLC.

The new package is reportedly exclusive for the European version of the game, and is different from the Deluxe Edition for "Resident Evil 7" that will come out as a global release. However, it is expected that since the franchise has a worldwide following, a special edition will also come out for other regions.

The "Resident Evil 7: Collector's Edition" will reportedly be available for pre-order for €99.98. However, there is an option to bundle the package and a copy of the game itself, to have a price tag of €150.96.

"Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" is scheduled for release early next year. It will launch for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on Jan. 24. Meanwhile, the game is also available for the PlayStation VR as an exclusive until 2018.
