Many online and brick-and-mortar retailers are taking pre-orders. Some, like Green Man Gaming, are offering nice discounts on digital versions to those who sign on early. However, a few special editions are available exclusively through the the Square Enix store.
As far as I know, all of the Windows PC versions sold in the US will be digital downloads and will require a Steam account. I am not sure if a PC edition with a physical disk will be available in other countries.

DLC PACKS & SEASON PASS
The Season Pass is priced at $29.99 US. Seven separate DLC packs are planned, to be released each month from October 2018 to April 2019. The first of these will introduce co-op play (details to be announced). Each will include a challenge tomb, weapon, outfit, skill, and story-based side mission. One of each of the above will be exclusive to the Season Pass.
OTHER SPECIAL EDITIONS
If you live outside North America, watch out for other editions and bonuses. For example, an "Artifact Edition" available in The Netherlands includes a Lara Croft Totaku figurine.
