All future physical PC releases from THQ Nordic will have limited prints
THQ Nordic has announced that all future physical PC releases, including Gothic 1 Remake, Alone in the Dark, and Trine 5, will have a very limited print run.
Limited Editions and Serial Numbering
Each game’s standard edition and eligible collector’s edition will have serially numbered prints. Only a small amount of physical copies will be available, all of which will be sealed and premium packaged.
Selling and Distribution
The first 10 (or 25 or 50) copies of each limited print run will be sold through the THQ Nordic Vienna Store. Another batch will be made available online through international stores or offered to selected retail partners.
Preservation in Embracer Games Archive
The very last numbered copy of each limited print run will be provided to the Embracer Games Archive in Karlstad, Sweden, which currently houses 70,000 games, consoles, and accessories.
