Quantic Dream the creators behind the upcoming Heavy Rain have announced some of the download content which will be released as well as details on a special edition version.
"These are a series of additional, fully-playable scenes, where you'll learn more about the backstory of some of the characters you'll meet in Heavy Rain itself. The first episode will centre on Madison – and the setting will be familiar to those of you who have been following the progress of Heavy Rain closely..."
"Heavy Rain: Chronicle One – The Taxidermist sees Madison Paige investigating a suspicious and reclusive taxidermist, and finding herself unexpectedly in grave danger."
"The Collector's Edition is packaged in a special 'rain-effect' slipcase – thanks to special embossing and other manufacturing tricks, it gives the impression of being streaked with 3D rain-drops (something that has confused a lot of people when they've seen it lying on my desk recently!)."
The Collector's Edition also contains a voucher to download the following additional content:
- Heavy Rain: Chronicle 1 – The Taxidermist – Experience Madison's dangerous investigation in full, before it's available on the PlayStation Store.
- The Heavy Rain Official Soundtrack – Recorded at the legendary Abbey Road studios, and filled with the powerful orchestral themes that form a key part of the experience of playing Heavy Rain.
- Dynamic XMB theme – Lend a little Heavy Rain ambience to your XMB.
