Limited Run Games confirmed that they will be doing this year's LRG3 show this Summer. The main focus of their live stream will be the Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol titles, both from Lucasfilm Games. Nintendo had only recently announced the games' arrival on the Nintendo Store, which will be coming on June 29. Pre-emptively, even before the games hit digital storefronts, LRG seems to be already confirming the arrival of a physical release.
Hopefully, LRG3's Summer live stream will feature new announcements as well. We're a big fan of shelves lined up with game cases, and Limited Run Games do god's work in this regard. Their physical releases of digital-only games prove to be very popular, which allows them to get licenses for almost anything they want. Apart from releasing physical versions of games, LRG also bundles great collectible items in some of their collector's edition offerings. Some of these collectibles exclusively appear only through LRG, making them definite collectibles that even the games' biggest fans could miss out on. Therefore, LRG really gives fans a lot of incentive to check out their latest offerings.
Limited Run Games' latest big deal came in the form of an Among Us Collector's Edition release. Sadly, this version of Among Us didn't actually have a physical release. Instead, the package comes with a digital code redeemable for both Steam and Epic Games Store. The Among Us Collector's Edition mostly serves as an exception rather than a rule, though. Therefore, you can expect future LRG games to actually have a physical copy available, especially for titles with DRM-free versions.
