In honor of one of the most influential and brutal movies this century, Lionsgate is putting out Battle Royale on 4K UHD Steelbook with a special edition. It arrives on 4K UHD on December 9th, 2025. One of the first harrowing looks into a competition fueled dystopian future, Kinji Fukasaku brings to life a brutal but emotional tale. Battle Royale will be available for the suggested retail price of $49.99 and $74.99 for the t-shirt bundle.

Here’s the synopsis for those that need one.

In the near future, the economy has collapsed, unemployment has soared, and juvenile crime has exploded. Fearful of their nation’s youth, the Japanese government passes The BR Law: Each year, a 9th grade class is sent to a remote island where they will be locked into exploding neck collars, given a random weapon, and forced to hunt and kill each other until there is only one survivor left. Chiaki Kuriyama (Kill Bill) and screen legend Takeshi Kitano (Ghost in the Shell) star in the movie that has been argued, acclaimed, and banned around the world. Presented in 4K for the first time on its 25th anniversary, it remains one of the most savage, shocking, and emotionally powerful films of all time.
