Bandai Namco has put together a very impressive Collector’s Edition for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, there’s no doubt. The bundle includes the full Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot game, a collectible Steelbook case for the game, a hardcover game artbook, and an exclusive diorama figure that’s 8x8x8 inches big. However, the package doesn’t include the game’s $24.99 Season Pass, which some fans may consider unacceptable after hearing that the Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Collector’s Edition costs a hefty $199.99.

The Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Season Pass isn’t particularly robust when compared to some games’ post-launch plans, as listings indicate that it features just two “Original Story Episodes” and one “New Story Arc.” As such, some players are likely to expect the Season Pass to be bundled into the $199.99 Collector’s Edition, as indeed that is a common practice with the Collector’s Editions for many games.
The absence of the Season Pass isn’t limited to just the Collector’s Edition of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, either, as there are no physical editions of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot that contain it. While there is a Deluxe Edition available digitally that includes the Season Pass, it costs $84.99, which provides no inherent discount with the base game costing $59.99 and the Season Pass costing $24.99.
While the lack of the Season Pass in the Collector’s Edition of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot may be disappointing, Dragon Ball Z fans can still simply pick up the base game, decide if they like it, and then pick up the Season Pass later on. That said, some players may still be hesitant to pickup the Collector’s Edition of the game, as $199.99 is a lot of money to spend on a package without the Season Pass, regardless of how cool the statue might be.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot releases January 19 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
