Any plans for a complete GalCivII Bundle?

March 26, 2008 2:16:03 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

Just curious if anyone might know if there are future plans for an all-in-one bundle consisting of the original GalCivII, Dark Avatar and Twilight of the Arnor? If so, do you anticipate it being available in retail stores, or will it just be available through this website? If no such bundle is planned, might Twilight of the Arnor possibly make it to store shelves, or would it be a website-only purchase as well? I'm sure only a few people know the answer to these questions, so naturally I thought this would be the best place to ask. Thanks.

Note: I suppose I'll go ahead and purchase the Gold Edition if there are no plans to release the aforementioned bundle with both expansion packs.

From pressing the 'purchase' button up top on the website you entered this in . . .

Galactic Civilizations II: Ultimate Bundle Pack

Get the complete GalCiv II saga including the acclaimed PC strategy game of the year Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords, the award winning expansion pack Dark Avatar, and the newest expansion pack Twilight of the Arnor!

Note: Twilight of the Arnor will be released in April 2008.

It does say that it's 'Digital download only', which means there probably won't be a bundled version of the whole thing in stores.

Kryo has said that there will be no retail version at all of Twilight of the Arnor. You can either download it, or purchase the 'download and CD' version, pay an extra ten bucks for shipping, and get a CD in a slipcase. But there's no fancy box or printed manual or all the other things retail releases entail.

Thanks for the reply, SanChonio. I just purchased a copy of the GalCivII Gold Edition here locally, and I'll just order the latest expansion from this website when it's ready.

Oh, and would you happen to know if the Gold Edition will require any updates, or is it fully patched out of the box. Thanks.

It'll work out of the box (it's not as bug-ridden as some major releases), but I'd update it if I were you.

Good on you for picking it up. You won't be disappointed.
