STRAFE from Pixel Titans gets a physical release from two different companies, the most notable one being Special Reserve Games, a new player on the market for companies promoting physical releases of games. The other one is Limited Run Games, which has been releasing physical games for quite a while. While STRAFE won't be part of the Limited Run Games set and won't get a number, their upcoming releases number up to 58.
SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: The Surgeon General was brutally murdered by STRAFE®.
STRAFE® is the fastest, bloodiest, deadliest, most adjective-abusing, action-packed first-person shooter of 1996. Featuring breathtaking photorealistic graphics and persistent gore that allows you to paint levels red with the excessive entrails of your enemies. As a Scraper on an impossibly dangerous mission at the edge of the galaxy, you only have one life to navigate all the nightmarish terrains of STRAFE®. When you die, nothing will ever be the same again.
STRAFE® is a roguelike first-person shooter pushing the limits of computer-generated photorealism and hardcore sci-fi action into unimaginable territory.
With virtually no load times and infinite replayability, just choose your gun and be instantly blown away.

Limited Run Games says about their involvement with Special Reserve Games:
In order to make sure their releases reach a wider audience, we'll be distributing 1,000 variant cover copies of each of their upcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita releases. Though these will be sold through our site, they should not be considered Limited Run releases or as part of a Limited Run complete set. These will be distributed titles, sold to help raise awareness for fellow companies fighting the good fight to bring physical back.
You can pre-order the copy from Special Reserve Games right now on their website - PC collectors box ordered now might be sent upon ordering, while PS4 version ships may 16th, with the PC key arriving May 9th. If you opt for the bundle (PC and PS4), it will be shipped on May 16th. Be aware of the order limit, two of each item per customer (2 PC, 2 PS4, 2 bundles) - this is mostly to fight ebay scalpers with whom Limited Run Games has been dealing since day one.
For the audiophiles out there, Laced Records is selling the soundtrack on vinyl.
We're unsure when Limited Run Games will be posting STRAFE for sale as the word is just "later in May". It will be digitally available on May 9 for us, the rabble, who don't give a damn about a physical.
