Physical editions of Alien: Romulus launched today, December 3. There are four editions to choose from, including a Limited-Edition 4K Blu-ray with a steelbook case for $55. If you want that edition, you probably don’t want to wait long to order. Walmart has stock ready to ship right now, but Amazon estimates orders placed today won’t arrive for up to two months. Amazon also happens to be sold out of the non-steelbook 4K Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray, and DVD. Once again, all four are available at Walmart and available to ship now.
If you don’t care about steelbook cases, the best value is the 4K Blu-ray for $30 at Walmart. You’re saving $25 compared to the Limited Edition Steelbook.

Along with artwork of the cast and Xenomorph on the front, the case’s interior gets you a close-up look at the encounter between the Xenomorph and colonist Rain (Cailee Spaeny).
You’ll get 4K Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray discs as well as a voucher for the digital version of the film. Alien: Romulus also has some bonus content that sounds cool for longtime fans of the series.

Directed by Fede Alvarez, Alien: Romulus follows a group of friends attempting to reach an abandoned space station, hoping to find a way off their unforgiving planet. Instead, they stumble upon a horrifying life form and a dark secret about the station’s past. The film earned solid reviews from critics and is one of the better Alien films in recent memory.
