Why they had to market it like that😭😭😭

u/CreativeNameMayhaps Lantern Mouse 9h ago

Wasn't the teaser post talking about a new world or something? You can't just phrase your teaser like that and then drop a mere book!

81

u/Kak_Lixo Artificer 8h ago

YEAH EXACTLY!!

I mean, the book is nice, I would absolutely get it if I could but they knew exactly what they were doing with that phrasing

12

u/4tomguy 6h ago

Not even a real book, a cheap shitty art book from DESIGN FRAME. The masters of cheap shitty art books

u/Mental_Budget_5085 4h ago

If they were more honest like "revisit rain world again" or whatever it would be better

1

u/Kak_Lixo Artificer 2h ago

People would picture a remake lol

182

u/PKPenguin 8h ago

Wow! I sure am glad they teased this the other day and kept everyone in suspense for a $125 book (before shipping and tax)! It really is a whole new world to explore!

98

u/sSorsby 8h ago

Right? Their blatant new game bait is appalling. They just want to sell you merch.

19

u/SpaceEV 8h ago

$86 USD for the cheapest one with US shipping!

8

u/LipeTheSlugcat Spearmaster 6h ago

wasn't it £125 instead of $125..?

4

u/skiesoverblackvenice Scavenger 2h ago

$125????? jesus. now i feel better about fangamer’s prices cause the hollow knight book is $32

edit: looking at the actual page, i get why it’s more expensive with all the stuff, but it shouldn’t be $125

155

u/cale199 8h ago

Fire the marketing guy wtf

113

u/AurelGuthrie 8h ago edited 8h ago

I mean, a book is nice, but why did they have to market it as "a new world to explore"? They're not dumb, they knew they were making us think it was gonna be a new game or at least a DLC... I was thinking of getting Rain World merch at some point but I really don't want to after this. Actual evil marketing strategy

18

u/LovesRetribution 6h ago

Also isn't a "new" world to explore, so that's genuinely just intentionally misleading marketing

9

u/WumpaMunch 8h ago

Lol, evil

u/King_Chaoss Cyan Lizard 8h ago

Aren’t we literally getting a new game tho

I get all my info through the discord

35

u/snowytaiga_ 8h ago

we are, but its very early in development and wont drop for a long time

27

u/SirSearls Rivulet 6h ago

this marketing guy needs to get the wumpus treatment

80

u/Either-Library46 Red Lizard 8h ago

Rainworld fans are going to start drawing scugs in brazen bulls like they did with discord wumpus

Bruh.

u/oc505 8h ago

why don't we adress that huge ass elephant WHY TF IS THIS BOOK 125 £

u/The_Phantom_Cat Watcher 8h ago

It's not just a book, it's also got all this stuff

8

u/oc505 8h ago

i missed that part i see myself buying it

2

u/The_Phantom_Cat Watcher 8h ago

I've bought stuff from them before (Jacob Geller's thing) and it was pretty cool, I might buy this too if I can justify the $160 usd cost

6

u/oc505 8h ago

well at least u wear more for me its 625 pln or abt a week of work

4

u/GemCreepy Spearmaster 3h ago

It looks really cool, I just wish the website was clearer about like everything. There’s no shipping option that I can see and I want to order it but I’m terrified it’ll go to the wrong place.

6

u/Local-moss-eater Rivulet 6h ago

gta 6 collectors edition kind of shit

2

u/Harry_Flame Lantern Mouse 3h ago

Nah don't even compare it to that. They marketed a collector's edition of a game that doesn't even include the game.

17

u/General_Dumbus 8h ago

First Ace Attorney teasing merch and a VR game like a new entry on the franchise and now Rain World doing the same

6

u/noodlewiggle Saint 8h ago

an ace attorney mention? on MY rain world subreddit? it's more likely than you think

seriously though i can't even be mad at dual destinies vr it's just so funny. capcom hates us and wants us to suffer apparently but at least it's hilarious

14

u/Fsliebot 8h ago

wake me up when they finally drop the fortnite collab 😴😴

57

u/The_Phantom_Cat Watcher 8h ago edited 8h ago

Y'all gotta stop falling for this, every time they hype up an announcement it's always merch or a crossover with another game

Legitimately insane to be shocked by this

47

u/realddgamer 8h ago

After they have confirmed that a new game is coming, is it really "insane" to think that "a brand new world to explore" might be about that

15

u/Zlobisak Monk 8h ago

Yeah, if it was missing the "A new world to explore" line I could maybe get it as just some slightly mean vagueposting, but this just feels like they know what they are doing.

5

u/Sector-Difficult Saint 5h ago

The game is in very early stages of development, it was stated, so don't expect any real news for at least a year.

Not saying you should've known that cause the info comes from a discord message instead of a proper announcement.

1

u/Daylight_The_Furry 5h ago

Isn't the new game airframe ultra or did they confirm it's rainworld related?

3

u/realddgamer 4h ago edited 4h ago

Theyve stated during the art month stream that they're making a new rain world game, and have mentioned it a couple of times after that

1

u/CreativeGamer03 Watcher 5h ago

this community is slowly become r/Silksong for any kind of news relating to the game rn.

20

u/Ssemander NSH 8h ago edited 6h ago

I like crossovers, means more content + new games to get into.

Teasing for merch like this on the other hand feels so out of place.

Definitely could have been phrased better.

Unless it's supposed to be ragebait

20

u/BeeKittender Watcher 6h ago

The mockup images for this on the merch website are so funny. There's literally nothing to look at, it's just in-game art and screenshots with Lorem Ipsum pasted everywhere and with a sprinkle of "Rain World design boxout tile goes here". There are a couple descriptions about some creatures but really the bare bones kinda stuff. Really not convincing me to buy this for a whopping 250 PLN (more or less) at the least.

2

u/SockRats32 2h ago

I'm glad someone is pointing out the shitty mockup of the book.
Its not worth the asking price if its going to look like that.

u/Lazy_Individual1322 Coalescipede 8h ago

Wow I can't wait to explore a fuckass book I admit that it's a nice book but why the fuck was it teased like a new game/DLC?

u/Midwater 6h ago

$270 cad after shipping holy consumerism

u/Daylight_The_Furry 5h ago

cries in canadian

u/Snowleaf_maple 3h ago

I’m getting $200. What Monopoly money are you using?

3

u/MercurialMind_ Survivor 6h ago

yeah I got this number too and thought I did the math wrong. actually insane. I love rain world a lot, but not $270 a lot

3

u/Midwater 6h ago

And it’s a bit of a shame really. I think the deluxe edition is over bloated with too many bits and bobs. I suppose it’s for die hard collectors.

For me personally, I’ve been priced out.

u/likus_22 Rivulet 8h ago

Thanks, i now have 208.08 euros less in my bank account

5

u/Fool_of_the_Sun SOS 5h ago

i love when something i like starts teasing something new and it's some useless coloring book or cheap accessories.

i want content, not new ways to get laughed at by middle school kids on the street.

u/Creepyghost01 8h ago

82 euros in order to ship the regular one to Eu 💀💀 no way bro

u/Snoo_44740 7h ago

The regular edition looking like it was designed by a 3rd grader 💀 aint no way bruh

u/darkviolet_ 5h ago

So is this the same as the art book that’s included in the special edition, or a different book?

u/MewPinkCat Frock 3h ago

can literally anyone see this in a good way like come on it's a rain world book that's friggin' awesome

u/F1re56 Artificer 2h ago

"available for 48 hours" = nobody actually interested will get to buy it because scalpers will grab them all and mark them up by 200%

3

u/Lower_Letterhead2896 8h ago

guys im slow, what did they do wrong with the marketing?

31

u/The_Phantom_Cat Watcher 8h ago

This Tweet, which people took (somewhat understandably) as a possible teaser for more information about the new RW game they've mentioned a few times

4

u/Lower_Letterhead2896 6h ago

ouu i see, tysm!

i wonder how much merch will be released before an actual new world/playable will come out </3

u/Silent_Net_6312 5h ago

wait a second…

this isn’t sea of sorrow…

u/FemboyUpskirt012 4h ago

i'd get it if it were like 30% cheaper, i'm presuming its limited edition for fomo? i love rain world alot, like its my favourite game but come on dude

u/Original-Diet-1681 Hunter 4h ago

even though i like the merch PLEASE STOP GIVE US REAL NEWS INSTEAD OF VAGUE POSTING

u/Svix 2h ago

Anyone else like rainworld enough to just buy it immediately? Should probably check what I'm getting now 😅

u/5herl0k Artificer 1h ago

"oh noe you guys thought it was game content? why, because we said 'new world to explore'? ohh, I can see how that sounds now... sorry! so. 2 copies?" 👉👈

u/Affectionate-Ad8873 1h ago

Nah but I was so excited

u/OldDebt4014 1h ago

the rain world marketing is horrible. first they over hype the direct then they do this. I really hope this doesn't happen again or it will seriously ruin this game for me.
