FDG is preparing a new collector’s edition for Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, the company announced today. It will include all launch edition goodies, a two-disc soundtrack, 64-page composer signature booklet, and cloth map.
Despite the news being shared on April Fools’ Day, FDG assures fans that the collector’s edition is a real product in the works. Additional information will be shared in the future.
April Fools’ Day is officially in full swing. As is tradition, publishers and developers are celebrating the day with all sorts of tomfoolery. There have been a number of announcements over the past day or so, though due to the event, most are not actually real.

Here’s the full roadmap:
