Namco Bandai has confirmed that both the Black Armour Edition and Collector’s Edition will only available through pre-order. That means that if you decide you want to walk into a retailer on the day of release and grab a copy, they will not be there.

Both editions will be made based upon numbers, so if twenty people pre-order the Black Armour Edition at your local store, they will only receive twenty copies. The firm has described this as once “are gone, they are gone”. Basically this means if you want either the £49.99/$59.99 Black Armour Edition, or the £89.99$120 Collector’s Edition, pre-order it at your local store ASAP.

Dark Souls II is out March 11, 2014 on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC.
