Video game publisher Bethesda has partnered with production company iam8bit to create brand-new collector's edition items for the high fantasy role-playing game "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim." The new items include a vinyl soundtrack and a screen print depicting a scene in the game.
The limited-edition vinyl contains a selection of music featured in the game's original musical score, which was composed by Jeremy Soule and includes lyrics by Emil Pagliarulo. The song lineup was selected by the development team of the game and features titles that are separated into "Light" and "Dark" sides. The record will also include a cover with a customized artwork by Aled Lewis.
Die-hard fans of the game should consider getting the record as soon as it becomes available, as only 3,000 copies of the special vinyl will be made. The record retails for $40, and those who want to pre-order the special soundtrack can do so by going to iam8bit's online store. Fans who will pre-order the soundtrack will also receive a download code to gain access to the digital soundtrack in advance.
The collector's edition vinyl soundtrack will begin shipping by the second quarter of 2018.
Aside from the soundtrack, Bethesda and iam8bit are releasing a limited-edition screen print with a new art created by Lewis. The print features one of the most iconic battles in "Skyrim," when Dragonborn squared off against the powerful dragon Alduin.
The collector's item is a six-color handmade print which retails for $100 and will likewise start shipping in the second quarter of next year. The item is also up for pre-orders, but fans will need to hurry because the screen print will be even rarer than the soundtrack. Only 500 units will be made, so those into collecting "Skyrim" items should definitely order it now before it runs out of stock.
