Limited Run #372: The Mummy Demastered Collector's Edition (PS4)

Universal's reboot film was divisive, but the game it spawned was a genuine surprise. Limited Run #372: The Mummy Demastered Collector's Edition for PlayStation 4 preserves WayForward's excellent Metroidvania in a physical package that leans hard into retro reverence. If you slept on this one at launch, the collector's market remembers.

The retro style box sets the aesthetic immediately, framing this PS4 release with a vintage sensibility that matches the game's 16-bit-inspired visuals. The star of the package is the commemorative non-functioning SNES cartridge, a brilliant nod to the era The Mummy Demastered so lovingly channels. Holding a faux SNES cart for a PS4 game is the kind of beautiful contradiction that collectors live for. The original soundtrack rounds things out, preserving the atmospheric chiptune-influenced score that elevated the game far beyond its movie-tie-in origins.

WayForward has a reputation for turning licensed properties into genuinely great games, and The Mummy Demastered might be their most impressive magic trick. This Collector's Edition on PS4 captures that unlikely alchemy in physical form. For Metroidvania enthusiasts and WayForward completionists, Limited Run #372 is a tight, well-curated package that punches above its weight.
