In The US, At Least
If you're a Heavy Rain fan pining for some more perfectly paced psychological thrilling, or you simply missed out on Quantic Dream's modern-day classic when it was released, then you're all in for a treat, as Sony has announced a Director's Cut version is shipping to retailers next week. However, while Heavy Rain: Director's Cut will be available for US Playstation 3 owners on November 8th, us Europeans must once again sit and wait for our own release date.
Heavy Rain: Director's Cut is essentially a reward for longtime fans and the uninitiated, packing together a host of DLC, exclusive content and treats such as soundtracks and the like. Here's the list in full:
- Heavy Rain Chronicles: Episode 1 - The Taxidermist DLC
- Original videogame score by award-winning film and television composer, Normand Corbeil (16 tracks)
- New front-end menu and interface with built-in Move support
- A series of eight "Making of" Bonus Videos
- Three Dynamic Themes (Heavy Rain, Heavy Rain ARI Forest, Heavy Rain ARI Mars)
- 15 additional pieces of new concept art
- Two bonus trailers (Thank You trailer, Love trailer)
It's available in the US on November 8th. We're awaiting a European announcement from Sony. [Playstation Blog]
