Strange Brigade is a cooperative third-person shooter from Rebellion that doesn't get as much love as it should. Well, the Switch version of the game has at least earned a pair of upcoming physical editions from Super Rare Games. Collectors will be able to get either a standard physical edition or a fancy Steelbook. Considering that Strange Brigade has a fun, adventurous story and great 4-player online co-op, the only strange thing is how long it took these physical versions to come about.
In the world of the game, the titular "Strange Brigade" is a group of British heroes who are tasked with defending the empire from supernatural threats around the globe. The team gets called into action when an unscrupulous archaeologist accidentally releases the spirit of an evil queen loose in 1930s Egypt.

Super Rare Games will release two physical editions:
3,000 Standard Editions – Releasing with all the current content on its cart, a full-color manual, interior artwork, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards.
2,000 Steelbook Editions – Releasing with both Standard and Steelbook editions of the game, a postcard, and a slipcover.
Preorders for these physical editions will go live on Thursday, June 30 at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET at SuperRareGames.com. According to Super Rare, preorders will ship "shortly thereafter," so this shouldn't be a year-long wait scenario like you'd get with Limited Run or Strictly Limited.
Digital versions of Strange Brigade are available to purchase for $49.99 on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, Steam, and Stadia.
