Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War Premium Box

Koei went medieval and brought the premium treatment along for the ride. The Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War Premium Box for Xbox 360 bundled the game with a calendar, a ten-track soundtrack CD, and a hardbound first battle guide. In a library dominated by Halo and Gears, Bladestorm carved out its own lane as a tactical action game set during the Anglo-French conflicts, and the Premium Box reflected that niche confidence.

The hardbound battle guide is the real collector's piece here, a physical strategy companion built with a quality you rarely saw outside of Japanese special editions. The soundtrack CD preserves the game's orchestral score in a format that's increasingly rare for Western 360 releases. This is one of those editions that flew under the radar at launch and now rewards the collectors who were paying attention.

Bladestorm never became a household name, and that scarcity of attention translates directly into scarcity on shelves. If you collect 360-era oddities with genuine craft behind them, the Premium Box belongs in the conversation.
