Hela of Mice and Magic Harmony Edition: What Is Inside

The Harmony Edition is the only physical version of Hela: of Mice & Magic. It is produced and distributed by Microids, it ships on 1 December 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch 2, and it contains five items: the game itself, a premium box, a digital soundtrack, a double-sided poster that includes a map, and a forty-eight page softcover art book titled The Heart of Hela.

There is no second collector's tier and no store-exclusive variant. The same five items appear in every listing that carries the edition, which is why the contents can be described precisely rather than approximately. Price and delivery terms are the only things that change between shops.

The five contents

The mix is modest by collector's edition standards: no statue, no steelbook, no replica. What it offers instead is printed material tied to the game's visual identity, which suits a title built around a hand-crafted natural world rather than around characters with merchandise potential.

Which platforms can take it

The edition exists for three systems and no others. PlayStation 5 takes a disc, Xbox Series X takes a disc, and Nintendo Switch 2 takes a cartridge. Xbox Series S is digital only because the console has no disc drive, and PC has no physical release at all, since the Windows version is sold through Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Xbox PC App.

That list is narrower than the platform list for the game itself, which also covers Series S and PC. Anyone on those two systems is not missing a deluxe version; there is simply no boxed product for them. The digital release is the complete game in either case, with the same content as the disc.

The Switch 2 version deserves a note because the cartridge format is the only physical medium in the set that differs from the other two. The rest of the contents are identical across all three platforms, including the art book and the poster.

The art book and the map poster

The art book is the largest item in the box at forty-eight pages, softcover, and it carries its own title rather than being labelled as a companion volume. Its subject is the game's world: the forests, meadows, wetlands and burrows modelled on northern Sweden, seen at the scale of a mouse.

The poster is double-sided and one side carries a map. That makes it the only physical navigation aid in the edition, and the only item that reflects the layout of the game world rather than its art. The other side is not described in the listings beyond being the reverse of the map.

Neither item is a download. They are printed objects, which is the main argument for the edition over the digital release: the box exists to carry paper, and the paper is the part a download cannot reproduce.

The soundtrack is a code, not a disc

The digital soundtrack is delivered as a download rather than as a physical disc. That keeps the box thin and keeps the music out of the second-hand market, but it also means the soundtrack is the one item in the set that depends on a working code and an internet connection.

For a buyer who wants the music on a shelf, that is a limitation. For a buyer who wants the music at all, it is a convenience: the code does not take up space and does not scratch. Either way, the edition is not a five-object box in the literal sense; it is four printed or physical objects plus one download.

Age rating and the size of the run

The edition is rated PEGI 3, the lowest age band. That is consistent with a game that has no combat, no enemies and no failure state built on damage, and it is why the box can sit in a family section of a shop without a content warning.

The run is limited and sold through selected retail channels rather than every shop that stocks games. Limited in this case means the print is finite and tied to the retail partners Microids supplies, not that a numbered certificate is included. Nothing in the contents list suggests an individually numbered item.

Where the edition is sold

Microids runs an order page for the edition, and the same box appears at the retailers that carry the publisher's physical catalogue. Because those shops operate in different countries, the edition reaches buyers through local distribution rather than a single global store.

That structure explains why the contents read identically while the price and the delivery date do not. Each retailer lists the same five items, in some cases in a different order and with different wording, and prices them for its own market. The consistency across those listings is the reason the contents can be treated as settled.

Reservation windows also open and close per shop rather than on one global schedule, so a buyer watching a single retailer can miss the edition while another still has stock. The run is finite either way, and the shops do not share a common allocation.

What the edition is not

It is not a version with extra game content. The disc and the cartridge carry the same game as the digital release, and no mission, map or mode is exclusive to the box. Anyone buying it is paying for packaging and printed extras, not for a different build.

It is also not a substitute for a pre-order on the digital side, because no digital pre-order exists. The edition is the one product that can be reserved ahead of 1 December, and once the run is gone the only way to own those five items is the second-hand market.
