Outer Wilds: Archaeologist Edition Reprinted for PS5

Annapurna Interactive to Reprint Outer Wilds: Archaeologist Edition on PS5 Disc

Annapurna Interactive has announced a change in plans regarding the physical edition of Outer Wilds: Archaeologist Edition for PS5. Last week, a printing error led to the omission of the Echoes of the Eye expansion from the discs, prompting the company to offer solutions to affected players.

Offer of DLC Voucher Code

Initially, Annapurna invited players who purchased the flawed physical edition to contact iam8bit’s customer support for a DLC voucher code. However, some collectors raised concerns about the essence of owning a physical copy if a digital solution was provided.

Commitment to Quality

Annapurna has issued another apology to fans, emphasizing their commitment to delivering physical editions that reflect the quality and craftsmanship of their games. In addition to the digital voucher offer, the company is now providing an option for players to return their discs for a complete edition.

Reprinting the Corrected Edition

The team at Annapurna shared that they will be reprinting the Outer Wilds: Archaeologist Edition for PS5 with the Echoes of the Eye expansion included on the disc. Players who prefer a physical resolution can return their flawed copies to the respective retailers or cancel their orders.

Starting next week, players can order the corrected physical copy directly from an online storefront to ensure they receive the intended version of the game. It is important to note that the production of the corrected edition will take approximately eight weeks due to global retail distribution complexities.

Partner Statement

Annapurna reiterated their partnership with iam8bit, emphasizing the value of physical editions that maintain the integrity of their games. They expressed deep regret for the error and apologized to their fans and customers for any inconvenience caused.
