Boxed Game, Artbook and poster add ons shipping before Christmas!
Woolfe - The Red Hood Diaries · published
Dear Woolfe backers,
When Rebellion acquired Woolfe back in October we promised we’d honour as many of the digital and physical rewards as possible, and we kicked off the process of packing, labelling (and envelope-licking!) in November, shipping out the first wave of outstanding posters, stickers and certificates.
But we have some more great news to finish the year off! Our in-house art team have been busy creating both a stunning, custom-designed Boxed version of the game, and also a Hardcover Artbook which were originally offered as optional “Add ons” to backers of the Kickstarter campaign.
Not only are these now designed and printed, but we have started shipping them to all the appropriate backers - this means some of you may even get all your rewards in time for Christmas!
And if that’s simply too far away, you can check out this video we made with our Head of Art, Chris, to get a sneak preview of what to expect!

As the backers who made Woolfe possible, we hope you enjoy finally getting your rewards as much as we have making them.
We understand you’ve probably still got a few questions, so we’ve also got a published a quick FAQ below, but as ever feel free to get in touch at [email protected]
From everyone at Rebellion, we wish you a great Christmas and a cracking 2016!
I’m a backer and I bought add ons, so what do I get?
If you purchased the “Hardcover Artbook” add on...
… you get a 60 page, 18cm x 26cm Hardcover Artbook designed and published by Rebellion featuring a Foreword from Grin’s Wim Wouters, as well as art from pre-production, characters, environments, graphic design and even fans themselves!
If you purchased the “Boxed” version add on...
… you get the Woolfe PC game on DVD and the soundtrack on CD, all presented in a custom, double-sided box and sleeve, gloss black printed on matt black, and finished with a triple spot UV thorn “embossed-style” design created by the artists at Rebellion.
You’ll notice too that the box has a unique double-sided design both inside and out, featuring Red and BB. Woolfe.
We’ve only made a tiny batch of these Boxed editions, and we don’t have plans to sell them at retail, so they are very rare indeed!
If you purchased a “Deluxe Boxed” Version physical add on...
...you get:
- The new special Boxed version which includes the game DVD and soundtrack CD (as detailed above)
- The Hardcover Artbook
- 5 Woolfe posters, including one signed by members of the original dev team at Grin
- Sniper Elite Steam key
- Sniper Elite V2 Steam key
- Sniper Elite 3 Steam key
If you purchased the “Poster pack” physical add on...
You will receive 4 posters as outlined in the original Kickstarter.
When will I get the items above?
We’ve already begun shipping! If you live in the UK or Europe, there is a chance you’ll get your items before Christmas. Shipping times will vary depending on where you live, and what you originally ordered. Hopefully all of you will have your items by the first week in January!
What happened to the “Deluxe Boxed” version that was promised as a physical add on?
Grin’s original Kickstarter campaign included the option to purchase a “Deluxe Boxed” add on for $120 that featured a complex 3D printed design.
While there was an illustration of the design on Woolfe’s Kickstarter page, no completed samples or designs were ever given to Rebellion when we purchased Woolfe in October 2015.
To replicate the design Grin proposed, we discovered that each individual Deluxe Boxed version would cost many hundreds of dollars to produce!
To make up the value of what you originally ordered, anyone who ordered the Deluxe Boxed version will get the beautiful new Boxed version (including game DVD and CD soundtrack), the Hardcover Artbook, 5 posters (including one signed by members of Grin), and also Steam keys for Rebellion’s Sniper Elite series (three games worth $90) which you can use yourself or gift to anyone you like.
We’re sorry we couldn’t deliver the exact specifications of Grin’s original add on plans, but we think you’ll still appreciate the care and design that we put into the (very rare!) Boxed Version that you receive, as well as the other gifts.
