Call Of Duty: WWII Valor Collector’s Edition Revealed With The Best Pre-Order Perks

Call Of Duty: WWII limited-edition goodies just keep on coming, and the latest bundle has just been revealed via a tweet from Sledgehammer Games Co-Studio Head Michael Condrey. The Valor collector’s edition appears to be the most premium edition we’ve seen yet.

While Condrey declined to talk about release date and price details in his post, he said, “I’m not saying you should buy this. I’m just saying that I’m buying it.” The added #Valor cues us in to the name of the set. Thankfully, its promotional picture does feature basic item descriptions. It comes with a commemorative bronze statue, a Nazi Zombies poster, a collectable Blood Raven Sword pin and patches for each of the game’s five Divisions.

Curiously absent from the contents list, however, is anything related to the game itself. There are no mentions here of physical copies, digital codes or season passes. In other words, the Call Of Duty: WWII Valor collector’s edition may be more about its extra toys than the software they’re based on.

As sad as that prospect may be, however, it’d be far from the first time we’ve seen collector’s editions scrap software from the package. Battlefield 1’s $130 premium set featured a statue, steelbook, poster and even a deck of playing cards, but no game inside. The $200 edition of Mass Effect: Andromeda took the same approach. It’s not a well-liked practice in this industry, but it’s been done before multiple times.

Even if the Valor edition doesn’t come with the game, the good news is that Activision has provided plenty of pre-order SKUs that do have it. Two editions were just recently featured by Best Buy, with additional guides and a backpack alongside the main title and season pass. GameStop is also offering its own Pro Edition with a logo baseball hat. Of course, those who choose to buy the game on its own will get several perks for pre-ordering. These include access to this month’s Private Beta, special items for Divisions and weapon camos in Nazi Zombies.

As this tweet was just a tease of something to be formally revealed later, we imagine Activision will provide additional clarity on the Valor set in the coming weeks. From what we can see here, however, its price doesn’t look cheap and the software isn’t a big part of it.

As a leading team member behind one of this year’s most anticipated games, Condrey has been pretty insatiable when it comes to Twitter teases these days. Over the past week he’s teased the title’s menu screen, discussed the beta’s weapon roster and promised custom emblem support at launch. With a few months to go before release, we suspect many more hints are on the way.

Call Of Duty: WWII comes to PS4, Xbox One and PC Nov. 3. The Private Beta begins Aug. 25 on PS4.
