Physical video game specialist, Limited Run Games, has two new games listed as “coming soon” on its website. Previously revealed in June, these new titles are Dust: An Elysian Tale and Yooka-Laylee.
Dust will cost $29.99 with pre-orders going live on 31st August and Playtonic’s 3D platformer will be available to preorder on 3rd September for a total of $49.99.
Preorders for both games close later in September and both games will include full color manuals.
Dust also has a reversible cover, which is explained in a bit more detail below:
"This release features reversible cover artwork and a full-color manual. The cover that is sealed facing outwards has been randomized by our factory. If you order two copies we will make sure to send you one of each sealed variant."
Here's a statement about the pricing of Yooka-Laylee as well:
"Please note that the higher price is due to this title's eShop price of $39.99 (most games we sell are priced at $19.99 or less on the eShop)."
Ubisoft recently shared more details about Assassin's Creed Shadows protagonists, confirming that both of them will romantically attract and be attracted to different types of people.
ESTNN writes: "A leak for Valve's 6v6 3rd-person shooter MOBA has supposedly been released ahead of time. And if the reports are true, fans of the genre have much to be excited for."
Nice bend at the knee there Gabe. Seriously? A quirky character arena shooter? This late into the me-too-shooter market? I thought you guys were so much better than that crap. Gabe must need a bigger yacht.
Limited Run Games believes that more companies will start selling a limited number of physical media in a decade.
Like a vocal minority demand?
On PS5 alone the digital sales made up 77% of all game sales in 2024.

Also, I despise f*ckin limited run games because they will extort people that want a physical version by marking up the prices almost 100% so they make more. So a game digitally that’s $30 you can expect it to be $60 on LRG and don’t even get me started on the collectors edition prices… it’s borderline highway robbery.
This whole 'nobody wants to buy physical anymore' is kinda nonsense when the fact is in many (Western) countries the only (convenient) way for many gamers to buy games nowadays is digitally, because so many storrs which used to sell games (physically),among other products, have simply closed down.
If nobody is selling physical anymore, then yeah, of course demand for digital will automatically go up.
