Owlcat is funding Dark Heresy’s launch with Founder’s Packs sold directly on its website. They are supporter bundles, not a standard pre-order, and they disappear before launch.
What is on sale
| Tier | Type | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Core | Digital | Entry supporter pack |
| Premium | Digital | Higher digital tier with more rewards |
| Developers | Digital | Top digital tier with developer-facing rewards |
| Collector’s Edition | Physical | Boxed collector’s package, ships after launch |
Owlcat’s release-date post confirms the digital tiers and the physical Collector’s Edition, and says the packs are available until early January 2027. The Collector’s Edition ships shortly after the game’s release, and Owlcat is asking buyers to verify their shipping address.
What is not announced
- Prices for each tier.
- The contents list for each tier in full detail (Owlcat’s store page has the authoritative list).
- The standard edition price and whether there will be a pre-order bonus.
- Whether the packs include the game key for every platform — check the official store before buying.
Should you buy a Founder’s Pack?
This is a supporter purchase, not a discount play:
- Buy it if you want to fund the game, get the credits listing and in-game cosmetics, or want the physical Collector’s Edition.
- Do not buy it expecting a cheaper standard edition or early access to the full game. The beta is closed and separate.
- Wait if you want the standard edition: Owlcat has not announced the price, and there is no Steam pre-order yet.
