Limited Run Games proudly announces the long-awaited physical pre-order date for Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties: Definitive Edition. The physical release is coming in both standalone and Collector’s Editions for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X. Pre-orders will be launched on September 22nd and are slated to run until October 22, 2023. In addition, Limited Run is ready to announce that the digital edition will launch in December 8, 2023 on consoles and PC. More information will be shared in the coming weeks.
Limited Run has gone all-out with their first Limited Run Entertainment release, combining the amateurish, retro graphic design of the original release with modern vaporwave style and a dash of anime flair — after all, Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties: Definitive Edition is a visual novel (technically). The collection features new art from Billy Norrby, Jonathan Kim, Mariel Cartwright, Igor-Alban Chevalie, Steve Brown, and José Salot. The crown jewel of Limited Run’s Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties: Definitive Edition collection is the Collector’s Edition. The offerings include an all-new strategy guide from Press Run, a double-sided poster featuring José Salot’s new art, and — of course — a replica tie. The game collection is rounded out by a new merch line to celebrate the physical release. Highlights include a skate deck, cassette tape soundtrack single release, and the Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties novelization by Mike Drucker. These items will all be available to pre-order during the physical reservation period. The full collection contents are as follows:
• Standard Edition (Switch, PS4, PS5 and Xbox) — physical copy of Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties: Definitive Edition on platform of choice, reversible cover art, manual
• Collector’s Edition (Switch, PS4, PS5, PC and Xbox) — physical copy of Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties: Definitive Edition on platform of choice, reversible cover art, manual, strategy guide from Press Run Books, two-sided poster, 7” vinyl, 3DO style censorship stickers, “Plumber On A Bike” decal, wearable replica tie, 4 x 6 framed picture of Jane (Jeanne Basone)
