Bad news for anyone who has pre-ordered the Collector's Edition of the upcoming Resident Evil 4 remake from GameStop, as it looks as though the company has canceled it without warning. While the title itself is one of the most anticipated video games of 2023, certainly in the horror genre, there will be more than a few disappointed fans who were looking to get hold of this special edition. However, there may be a slight silver lining in all this.

Capcom announced the Resident Evil 4 Collector's Edition in late 2021. The set comes with a range of additional content and bonuses, including a Leon Kennedy figure, art book, poster, DLC code, and the soundtrack to the game. While it will set people back quite a hefty amount, costing $249.99, there are many collectors out there who will want the chance to own this special RE4 set. However, it looks as though there's been a last-minute change.
