Warner Brothers is giving us several options to choose from depending on what you want: the first is the Watchmen: The End is Nigh: The Complete Experience, which is a Blu-ray game-film hybrid that includes Parts 1 and 2 of the game as well as the film, 25 minutes of bonus footage, and exclusive artwork.  This set will be available on July 21st for $49.99.

Developed by Deadline Games A/S and published by Warner Bros.
Interactive Entertainment, Watchmen: The End is Nigh is a hardcore
mature action brawler featuring bloody visceral combat in settings
reminiscent of the film.  Watchmen: The End is Nigh Part 1 takes place
more than a decade before the film’s main story, delving into the
partnership of urban vigilantes Rorschach and Nite Owl before the
hero-banning Keene Act.  In Part 2, the duo team up again as Rorschach
contacts Nite Owl to help solve the case of a missing girl, Violet
Greene.
