The game will be a cheaper release, with a Standard Edition price of just $US39.99, we’ll have to wait until morning to find out what we’ll be paying for it. There’s some good news and bad news here though, the bad news? The Standard Edition of the game will be digital only in Australia, New Zealand and all across Europe. The good news is that it appears the Deluxe Edition will be available physically – and you might want to get that one anyway.

The Deluxe Edition comes with the “Buddy Pass”, this will allow you to invite a friend who hasn’t bought the game to play through with you for free. You can use the Buddy Pass on as many different friends as you want, but you can only play with one at a time. This Deluxe Edition is only $10US more.

Buddy Pass players will progress normally and can experience the entire game while they are playing co-op alongside you. Buddy Pass players can upgrade at any time to play the game solo, or join co-op games with other players.
