| — Destiny: The Taken King Collector's Edition |
The Destiny: The Taken King Collector's Edition is the collector's edition release of The Taken King, exclusively available at GameStop for $79.99 USD. Releasing alongside the expansion on September 15, 2015,[1] it includes an array of various collectibles inspired by characters and items found in-game.
The bulk of this release is poised from the perspective of Cayde-6, as the Modified Treasure Island Book and its various contents are a gift from him in-universe. It includes various ramblings and sketches by Cayde, as well as a stash of other belongings of his. These include the Strange Coin replica, the Weapon Schematic, and the Collection of Relics and Artifacts. The latter of which consists of a charcoal sketch of Saturn from the perspective of one of its moons, two playing cards, an "Earth" sticker, a pentagonal Tex Mechanica patch, and a handwritten letter from Cayde. The Weapon Schematic is a poster depicting a blueprint of Sleeper Simulant, an Exotic weapon introduced in The Taken King.
Also included in the collector's edition is a The Taken King SteelBook case. It is silver in color and features radial design work, similar to the Destiny SteelBook. Inside the case is a game disc for Destiny, as well as digital codes for The Dark Below, House of Wolves, The Taken King, and The Taken King Collector's Edition Digital Content Pack.
The collector's edition released with variants for both of the major platforms the expansion would be releasing on, Xbox One and Playstation 4. The only differences between these releases are the branding on the box outer slip cover, and the digital codes included for the game content.
