It is expected that the upcoming "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" game will include a special bundle for hardcore fans. However, it is said that the supposed leaked "Collector's Edition" will only be released for European players.

According to speculations, Gamestop Italy has leaked an upcoming special pack for the new "Resident Evil" franchise installment. Supposedly, the upcoming "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" will include a "Collector's Edition" bundle with bonus collector items. However, the supposed bundle is exclusive to Europe and will be available for pre-order soon.

While it is yet unclear on whether it will indeed be an exclusive, it is highly unlikely that a special edition pack will be exclusive to just one region. "Resident Evil" is one of the more popular gaming franchises, and most of its titles have gone with global releases. It is possible that the new special edition will be added to the "Digital Deluxe Edition" that is already available for US audiences.

Meanwhile, it is also confirmed that the "Special Edition" of the game focuses on collectibles, and will include the actual game. The bundle only features real-world collector items like a 20th anniversary art book, 5 Lithographs, and a model replica of the Baker family house. It will also include a 16-GB USB memory stick in the shape of the infamous dummy finger from the "Resident Evil 7" demo.

On the other hand, even if the pack did not include the game, special items include in-game bonuses like 3 alternate covers and an exclusive in-game DLC.

The new "Resident Evil 7 : Biohazard Collector's Edition" will supposedly have a price tag of €99.98. There is also a special bundle that fans can take advantage of that will include the game itself, which will add a price for up to €150.96.

"Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" is slated for release for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC in January next year. It will also be available as a VR title.
