Why pre-order at all?
Pre-ordering guarantees the Chthonic Arsenal weapon trio for anyone who buys before launch. Beyond that, higher tiers sell convenience — cosmetics, Dream Essence, side missions, and early access — not power-gated story content. Patient players can still enjoy the full narrative on Standard edition after reading Getting Started.
Regional pricing notes
USD prices quoted here are reference MSRP from July 2026 announcements. Steam, PlayStation, and Microsoft stores display local tax and currency at checkout. GOG and Epic may run independent sales; this wiki does not track every regional promotion.
Refund policies
PC storefronts generally allow refunds within 14 days if playtime stays under two hours. Console policies vary by platform holder. Finish the free Steam demo first to reduce refund risk.
Wishlist vs pre-order
Wishlisting costs nothing and still helps visibility algorithms on Steam. Pre-order only when you are committed to day-one play or want locked-in bonus weapons.
