The multiplayer beta for Halo 5: Guardians is already underway but Microsoft has also announced that the full game is now available for pre-order.

The publisher has outlined three different bundles for the 343 Industries shooter, starting with the Standard Edition. For $60, you’ll receive an exclusive poster if you pre-order. The Limited Edition will cost $100 and will include digital content, likely weapons and items for multiplayer, along with exclusive items. These will be contained in a steel book casing.

Finally, there’s the Limited Collector’s Edition which costs $250. It adds “additional content” which includes a numbered statue created by 343 Industries. There isn’t much information available on the Limited Collector’s Edition but Microsoft promises to reveal more later.

As of now, Halo 5: Guardians doesn’t have a release date though odds are it will be out in late 2015, perhaps between September and November given the release schedule of previous Halo games. Will you be picking it up? Let us know in the comments.

“We want to bring optimised experiences wherever we launch, and that includes fully-localised dash, voice, all of the entertainment-out-of-the-box experience,” he said. “All of that, in our view, has to be optimised at launch, and we felt that we weren’t able to bring all of that to all of those markets at launch, so that’s why we’ve narrowed down the launch country portfolio.

“We will add goodness to pre-orders, to those who’ve pre-ordered, in a good way, and we’ll talk more about that as time rolls on.”

Even though consumers in these countries could import their consoles from neighbouring markets, Lewis urged them to wait. “Xbox One will work everywhere and the games will work everywhere, but we’d encourage people to wait for that optimised experience and we’ll bring that to those markets as soon as we can.”

Will these bonuses be worth the wait? We’ll soon find out.
