Its on sale on Switch with Dead Cells for like 25 bones. Like most Signature Editions, the new Dead Cells comes with four pins and a soundtrack, plus a selection of paper goodies like an art booklet, lenticular card, four postcards, and a set of “snapshots” featuring more art. It’s been a while since the last Signature Edition game, which was TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge back in August last year (and November for the PS5 version), so as a refresher- Signature Edition games are deluxe versions that come in a nice box with slipcover, and all its contents protected by generous foam padding inside.

The standard Action Game of the Year version was handled by Signature Edition’s parent company Merge Games, and that was finally it. Eventually it seemed that everything that was going to come out had been released, and Signature Edition games published a physical version featuring everything on disc or cartridge (PS4 and Switch, respectively) plus a whole pile of other goodies in the massive Prisoner’s Edition.
