This version comes with lots of physical extras, including a steelbook, an artbook, and a figure of Leon wielding a shotgun and sporting his signature brown jacket. The Collector's Edition is available for the grand sum of $249.99/£249.99.
Here's what comes in the Resident Evil 4 Remake Collector's Edition:

Additionally, pre-ordering the game's Standard Edition will net you two bonus in-game items, the Attaché Case: Gold and the Special Charm: Handgun Ammo. If you place your order early for either the Deluxe or Collector's editions, you'll receive the aforementioned bonus items as well as the Attaché Case: Classic and the Special Charm: Green Herb. Resident Evil 4 Remake is set to release on March 24, 2023, and pre-orders are open now.
As well as announcing the various buying options for Resident Evil 4 Remake, Capcom shared a new gameplay trailer during its Resident Evil showcase.
