Bundles

#Collection  #Package  #Compilation
A **bundle** is a collection of several products or services that are sold as one combined product or service package.
Some *Kingdom* titles may be (or could've been) acquired as part of one or more bundles.

Due to the way bundles are announced and released: each one on a different site, targeting different platforms and groups of users, and mainly using very marketable titles, headings and expressions in general; people can be confused about them, sometimes even thinking that they're about to discover a different game.
Bundles are not a different game.

Every *Kingdom* bundle (sometimes called collection, edition, etc.) contains at least one of the following game titles, and no "Kingdom" game other than the ones listed below:

 *Kingdom: Classic*
 *Kingdom: New Lands*
 *Kingdom Two Crowns*
 *Kingdom Eighties*
Usually bundles include more than one *Kingdom* games, but some may only feature one title.
In those cases, the package will certainly include other items like DLCs, soundtracks, and/or a selection of well-finished physical goods, that could increase the overall perceived value of the collection.

Below is a list of the known compilations specifying their included products.

## Kingdom Majestic

 Platforms
 Digital
  US

Initially announced to be released on 18 June 2020, Kingdom Majestic was released on 9 July 2020 in Europe, and on 14 July 2020 in the United States, with two different editions: Standard and Limited.
The Standard edition, shipped for American and European users, included the digital contents, and a reversible cover.
The Limited edition, that was distributed by physical stores across Europe, included the same, plus all the physical goods (see list on infobox).
Kingdom Majestic was made in a partnership between Raw Fury and Microids, under their then newly launched game label Microids Indie.

## New Lands Collector's Edition

Kingdom New Lands Collector's Edition is an issue of *Kingdom: New Lands* published by *Limited Run Games* (LRG) for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC.
It includes a collector's edition box containing the whole pack: a regular game case, an alternative SteelBook® case, a CD case with the original soundtrack by Amos Roddy, an enamel crown pin, and a cardboard sleeve.

The regular game case contains the game itself on its respective physical media (game card for Switch, Blu-ray Disc™ for PS4, and DRM free disc for PC), a full-color manual, and a reversible cover with just slightly different printed arts.
The manual, entitled "Instruction Booklet", starts with basic tips enriched with a couple of screenshots, proceeds with an exclusive Q&A section with Thomas van den Berg (Noio) and Gordon van Dyke about the lore and the history of the game, and concludes with a couple of printed arts.

The compact disc case is a standard-thickness jewel double disc case with a hinged media tray which can be lifted to reveal the second disc.
The discs are tagged as "I" and "II", with the typical style of the in-game Roman numerals.

The cardboard sleeve has two art cards inside it, a black and white drawing, and a colored drawing.
The black and white one shows the dog being grabbed by a masked greedling.
The colored one is the art Sandra Charlet made to illustrate her *Kingdom: New Lands* series on *Youtube*.

Product mockup for SwitchProduct mockup for PS4
The Collector's Edition was limited to 2.000 copies for *Nintendo Switch*, 1.500 copies for *PlayStation 4*, and 1.000 copies for PC, worldwide; all sold on the first couple of months after release.
A fair amount of these copies can be found on C2C e-commerce sites, but probably not many for fair prices.

*Limited Run Games* would also sell a simpler version for consoles, called Standard Edition, which included the game in its physical form, the regular case, and the manual.

## New Lands Royal Edition

 Contents

Kingdom: New Lands Royal Edition is a digital bundle composed of the *Kingdom: New Lands* title (which already includes the Skull Island DLC), and the entire soundtrack played in game (which includes the tracks from *Classic*, and the tracks made exclusively for *New Lands*) provided in both MP3 and FLAC file formats.

This bundle was made available on *Steam* the same day the Skull Island DLC was released for *Kingdom: New Lands*.
On *GOG*, however, despite the fact that the site provided the game since its release in 2016, the Skull Island was included in the base game with a delay of several months, and the Royal Edition bundle came out almost two years later.

## Two Crowns Royal Edition

 End-of-sale
 Platforms
 Contents

When *Two Crowns* was released, it also had its own "Royal Edition" bundle, similarly including the base game, all free DLCs, and the full soundtrack.
Once called Kingdom Two Crowns: Royal Edition, the bundle remained available on *Steam* from day one of *Two Crowns*, on December 2018, until the release of its first premium DLC, Norse Lands, on Novermber 2021.

Technically, what happened behind the scenes of *Steam* is that the non-free DLC was included in this bundle, and the name of the package was changed from "Royal" to "Jarl" Edition.
The former URL on *Steam* store redirects to the page of the new bundle.

## Norse Lands Edition

 Platforms
 Contents

The Kingdom Two Crowns: Norse Lands Edition bundle includes the whole content of *Kingdom Two Crowns*, and its premium DLC Norse Lands.

The package was made available when the Norse Lands campaign was released, on 16 November 2021.

On 2023, three days past the release of *Kingdom Eighties* on *Steam*, the bundle Kingdom Two Crowns: Norse Lands Edition was permanently removed from that store.

## Jarl Edition

 Platforms
 Contents

Similarly to the Norse Lands Edition, the Kingdom Two Crowns: Jarl Edition bundle also includes the whole content of *Kingdom Two Crowns*, and its premium DLC Norse Lands, but it adds the entire soundtrack of the game (including the exclusive tracks composed by Kalandra for the Norse Lands setting) in both MP3 and FLAC file formats.

The package was also made available along with the release of the Norse Lands campaign, on 16 November 2021.

Technically, this bundle is the former Royal Edition, changed to include the first premium DLC.

## Eighties & Two Crowns

 Platforms
 Contents

Kingdom Eighties & Two Crowns Bundle is a digital combo for *Steam* that sells *Kingdom Two Crowns* along with *Kingdom Eighties*.
It was initially released on 29 June 2023 as "Kingdom Two Crowns ❤︎ Kingdom Eighties".
Two months later, on 28 August, its name was changed to the current one.

## Treasury Collection

 Platforms
 Contents

The Treasury Collection is a digital bundle for consoles that contains *Kingdom: New Lands*, and *Kingdom Two Crowns* along with its premium DLC, Norse Lands.
It was released on 10 December 2018 for Xbox, and on 30 November 2021 for PlayStation.

## Imperial Collection

 Contents
 Available on

Kingdom Imperial Collection is a digital bundle for computers containing *Kingdom: Classic* (free to play on *Steam*), *Kingdom: New Lands* (which already includes the Skull Island DLC), *Kingdom Two Crowns* (which already includes the Shogun and the Dead Lands settings), the Norse Lands setting (for *Two Crowns*), *Kingdom Eighties*, the soundtrack of both *Two Crowns* and *Eighties* (MP3 and FLAC files), and an physical art book for *Kingdom Eighties*.

The Imperial Collection was made available on *Steam* the same day *Kingdom Two Crowns* was released.
It's uncertain when it was made available on the *Humble Bundle* store.

When the Norse Lands campaign was released on *Steam*, on November 2021, that premium setting was added to the collection.
The soundtrack for the Norse setting became an inherent content of the *Two Crowns* OST, automatically making part of the Imperial Collection.
On June 2023, as of the release of *Kingdom Eighties*, that title was also included, along with its original soundtrack, and a digital art book.

## Notes

1. ↑ As the browser game was always free-to-play, it has never been, and will never be included in any bundle, unless it could aggregate value to the package, for example, if it happens to be released in a version that is accessible on the current systems and platforms.
*Kingdom: Classic* on the other hand, is now free-to-play, but it has not always been the case.
This explains why the first *Steam* title of the series has been included in a few bundles in the past, some of which are still available for purchase.
