Qliphah In Providences Shadow Physical Copy — Editions, Regions and Retailers

The Short Answer

Yes, there is a physical release, but it is a console-only one. Qliphah in Providence's Shadow comes out physically on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, released on September 24, 2026 in Europe through Meridiem Games and Red Art Games, with a Japanese physical edition listed by the publisher as well. The Windows release is digital-only, so a boxed copy means picking PS5 or Switch rather than PC.

The divide is straightforward. Digital owners can buy on Steam, the Epic Games Store, the PlayStation Store or the Nintendo eShop, while boxed buyers are limited to the two console formats that got a retail run.

• PlayStation 5 — boxed Standard Edition in Europe plus North American retail listings, with the limited Deluxe Edition from Red Art Games.
• Nintendo Switch — boxed Standard Edition in Europe, a limited Deluxe Edition, and a North American retail listing.
• Nintendo Switch 2 — no separate boxed edition is documented; the boxed Switch release is the relevant product.
• Windows — digital only on Steam and the Epic Games Store, with no boxed PC release documented.

Standard, Deluxe and What Comes in the Box

The two European tiers differ mostly in scarcity and extras rather than in the game itself. The Standard Edition is the ordinary retail box distributed through multiple shops, while the Deluxe Edition was run as a limited print sold only through Red Art Games' own store, with pre-orders opening on June 25, 2026.

Edition	Documented contents and terms
Standard Edition (PS5, Switch)	PEGI-rated boxed release; available from multiple retailers from September 24, 2026
Limited Deluxe Edition (Switch listed)	Priced at €49.99 on the Red Art Games store, limited to 500 copies, sold only from Red Art Games' official online store
Pre-order / early purchase bonus	Access to the "Voidfall" extra battle, three additional skins for each character, and 16 high-difficulty battles at release
Physical pre-order extra	A set of eight lithographs advertised with Red Art Games' physical pre-orders

The bonus content is the part that crosses over between editions: the official page states that both a packaged pre-order and a digital early purchase unlock the Voidfall battle, the skins and the high-difficulty fights. On Steam that same content is listed as a separate free add-on, "Qliphah in Providence's Shadow Extra Battle: Voidfall", described as 16 battles whose clear rewards include skills and skins.

Where to Buy, and What Is Still Unclear

• Red Art Games' official online store is the only documented source for the limited Deluxe Edition, which is why it is the version most likely to sell out.
• Meridiem distributes the European Standard Edition, so European retailers are the place to look for a plain boxed copy.
• Amazon US lists a Nintendo Switch physical format, and GameStop lists a PlayStation 5 boxed release, so North American buyers have retail options as well.
• Specialist import shops carry European copies for other regions, including an "EU Import" PlayStation 5 listing and a multi-language listing on Play-Asia.
• The Japanese physical edition is documented on the publisher's own site at ¥3,520 including tax, which is a different print from the European run.
• Still to confirm: the exact PEGI age rating number, the full Deluxe Edition contents beyond the Switch listing, and whether the North American boxed editions ship on the publisher's September 24 date or the later date some retailers show.
• Not documented: any physical Windows release, any collector's edition beyond the limited Deluxe, and any steelbook or soundtrack bundle.
