Limited Run Games Announces Physical Editions For Bloodstained, Castlevania, And More

Physical game distributor Limited Run Games has announced a bunch of titles that will be getting the special physical edition treatment, with a few launching as soon as this month.

During its recent LRG3 2020 livestream, the company showed off what some of the boxes for these games look like, most of which can be viewed on LRG’s Twitter account. The long list includes games like Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2, Castlevania Anniversary Collection, Katana Zero, My Friend Pedro, Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, Super Meat Boy Forever, Ys Origin, and many more. Some have generic box art while others have elaborate designs. Most have release dates, though a few have tentative release windows or undetermined launches.

As you might expect, almost all of these physical editions are for games available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and PSVR. However, some–like Shantae and Xtreme Sports–are coming to GameBoy Color. You read that right–GameBoy Color.

In addition to announcing over 30 physical copies of digital-only games, LRG confirmed that some new titles are on the way. Details are scarce, but the company is working with developer WayForward on another River City Girls game.

You can check out the full list of titles getting the physical edition treatment by Limited Run Games below. The asterisk denotes games being sold on behalf of that publisher, with LRG only handling the distribution (not creation) of those physical copies.
