Sony and Quantic Dream have announced that a very special Heavy Rain: Director's Cut edition will be released tomorrow, in the U.S., that includes all sorts of extra content for the innovative game, as well as the special support for the PlayStation Move.

Heavy Rain was definitely a novel game back when it was released in 2010, offering players a sort of interactive drama, where they controlled various characters while trying to uncover the mysterious yet deadly Origami Killer.

Since then, the game received a downloadable add-on, as well as a special edition with support for the PlayStation Move motion controls instead of the regular DualShock 3 controller.

Now, the game's developer, Quantic Dream, and its publisher, Sony, have revealed that a special Heavy Rain: Director's Cut is going to be released tomorrow.

"Heavy Rain, one of the most talked-about titles ever to be released exclusively for PS3, will be re-released next week, but this time with lots of extras making it the perfect gift for the holidays. In addition to the original game, Heavy Rain: Director’s Cut will include DLC, the original soundtrack, bonus videos, and more."

The Director's Cut of Heavy Rain is to be released tomorrow, and includes all sorts of content, which you can check out in the list below from Sony:

- Complete, original game, Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain Chronicles: Episode 1 – The Taxidermist DLC - Heavy Rain Original Videogame Score by award-winning film and television composer, Normand Corbeil (16 tracks) - New front-end menu and interface with built-in Move support - A series of 8 “Making of” Bonus Videos - Three Dynamic Themes (Heavy Rain, Heavy Rain ARI Forest, Heavy Rain ARI Mars) - 15 additional pieces of new concept art - 2 bonus Trailers (Thank You Trailer, Love Trailer)

What's more, just as the game is released on November 8, American PlayStation Network users can get the Heavy Rain Crime Scene Dynamic Theme for free. As for the game, it will retail for $29.99 (around 22 Euros), but a European release date has yet to be confirmed.
