Usually, SteelBooks are included in more expensive collector’s edition variants of games.
When this much attention to detail is given towards the packaging, it can be hard to ignore the lizard part of your brain telling yourself, “I need it.”Īnd it’s not just movies getting the SteelBook treatment, so are video games, with everything from the Call of Duty series to indie platformers like Shantae. Frodo, Gandalf and their compatriots have a halo around their silhouettes, something that could only be accomplished with the sheen found in metal.
The SteelBook artwork for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring features gold that evokes the epicness of Tolkein’s world as it fades into green, conjuring images of the down-to-Earth humbleness of The Shire.
