Alien: Romulus shipped twice on 4K. Late 2024 brought the theatrical key art across multiple regions, then April 2026 brought Matt Ferguson’s Embossed art across four more, all dropping within three days of each other for Alien Day. The disc is identical on every steelbook in this list.
The film
Fede Alvarez slotted Alien: Romulus between Alien and Aliens in 2024, with Galo Olivares’ cinematography and an analog-future production design that references the 1979 original directly.
The Matt Ferguson Embossed wave (April 2026)
The UK, Germany, France, and Finland Limited Editions all dropped between April 20 and 22 2026, each carrying identical Matt Ferguson art with an embossed cover treatment. The art shows the Xenomorph reaching down over Rain in the corridor, acid dripping from its mouth, with the artist credit on the top banner. The only differences are the language of that credit, the regional rating badge, and which storefront you order from. The Germany LE ships from Amazon DE, the France LE from Amazon FR, and the Finland LE from SF Studios for the Nordic market. The cleanest US path is the UK release through Diabolik DVD as an all-region import.
The 2024 originals
Four steelbooks shipped in late 2024 carrying the theatrical key art with the cast composed around the Xenomorph. The US Steelbook is the easiest to find at $39 USD across Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon US, with a red Limited-Edition Collectible Steelbook retail banner across the top. The same art ships on the Zavvi UK exclusive with a UK rating badge swap, on the Amazon France exclusive with a French banner swap, and on the SF Studios Finland steelbook with no retail banner overlay at all.
The FilmArena situation
There is no FilmArena Romulus, but the Czech label is selling FAC #120 ALIEN (1979) Glow in the Dark and FAC #103 PROMETHEUS Glow in the Dark direct at 7,777 CZK (~$340 USD) each. Recent buyers on r/Steelbooks have flagged misprinted English text on the slipcovers (“theydiscover”, “theacid”, “ascrew”), AI-written product descriptions, accusations of unlicensed status, and the FAC #103 Prometheus listing claims a 4K disc that no rights holder has ever officially mastered. Shipping works and the packaging is genuinely premium, but if you want the glow-in-the-dark 1979 Alien you need $340 USD comfort with the licensing fog, and Prometheus should be skipped until someone with rights confirms a real 4K master exists.
What to skip
The Italy 4K release from Eagle Pictures is the one to leave alone. No steelbook, no English-friendly extras advantage worth the import cost. Skip unless you specifically collect Eagle Pictures Italian releases.
