Hunted's pre-order items revealed, are all over the place

Recommended Videos

inXile’s third-person action dungeon crawler-y thing, Hunted: The Demon’s Forge, isn’t out until next year. But that’s not stopping the game’s publisher, Bethesda Softworks, from dropping a slew of pre-order items all over North American consumers right now.

As is becoming the norm with these types of things, figuring out what you get and where you get it requires its own Prima Strategy guide, because it’s all over the place. There’s the “Darkset” pack, and you get that from GameStop. Then there’s the “Griffin” pack, and you get that from Best Buy. The “Demon” pack (my favorite, in name, of the bunch) you get from Amazon.com and Direct2Drive. Or you know, order from Walmart (in store or online) or get the game from Steam, you’ll get the “Assassin” pack.

What do you get in each pack? Bosses, weapons, armor, skins, artifacts… oh my! Keep reading and take notes — you wouldn’t want to make the wrong choice. You can just purchase four copies of the game, each from a different retailer, right?
