Xbox unveils Collector's Editions for Halo, Fable, and Gears with exclusive statues

Xbox has unveiled Collector's Editions for three of its most anticipated franchises: Halo: Campaign Evolved, Gears of War: E-Day, and Fable. As reported by Video Games Chronicle, each edition features exclusive collectible statues and premium content, with prices ranging from $199.99 (Dhs 735) to $299.99 (Dhs 1,102). All three are available for pre-order now from the Xbox Game Studios online store.

What's included in each Xbox Collector's Edition?

The Halo: Campaign Evolved Collector's Edition leads with a 12-inch Master Chief statue and replica LED Cortana chip, priced at $199.99. Available on Xbox Series X, PS5, and PC, it includes the physical game, collectible SteelBook, three concept art pieces, and digital bonuses like the Alpha Halo Armory Pack with five Master Chief armour skins and six weapon skins.

Gears of War: E-Day commands the highest price at $299.99 for Xbox Series X and PC. Its centerpiece is a 15-inch diorama statue featuring Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago, alongside a 1:1 scale replica of Carlos Santiago's COG tags made from zinc alloy and brass. The edition includes early access to the open beta from 6-10 August.

Fable's Collector's Edition matches Halo's $199.99 pricing across Xbox Series X, PS5, and PC. It centres around a limited-edition Jack of Blades statuette, complemented by a hardcover art book, custom SteelBook, and The Guild Seal lapel pin.

Should you buy these Xbox Collector's Editions?

Based on what we've seen from Xbox's track record with premium editions, these appear well-positioned for collectors. The Gears edition justifies its higher price with the largest statue and unique COG tags replica. Halo's multiplatform availability makes it accessible to PlayStation and PC players, whilst maintaining Xbox Game Pass integration.

From our assessment, the early access benefits add genuine value — Halo offers five days early access starting 23 July 2026, whilst Gears provides beta access months before launch. However, UAE collectors should note that local pricing and retailer availability haven't been confirmed.

In our view, franchise fans will find the physical collectibles compelling, particularly the LED Cortana chip and detailed Marcus Fenix diorama. The SteelBook cases and art books provide additional shelf appeal for collectors.

When and where can you pre-order?

All three Collector's Editions are available for pre-order immediately through the Xbox Game Studios online store. However, UAE customers will need to factor in international shipping costs and potential customs duties, as local retailers haven't been announced.

The release timeline varies by title: Halo: Campaign Evolved launches with early access on 23 July 2026, whilst specific launch dates for Gears of War: E-Day and Fable remain unconfirmed beyond 2025. Recent Halo developments suggest Microsoft is investing heavily in the franchise's future.
