Prices below are the currently listed US prices. Prices and physical contents may vary by country and retailer.
Standard Edition
US price: $69.99
Includes:
| Content | Included |
|---|---|
| The Blood of Dawnwalker – Full Game | ✓ |

| Sangoran Wayfarer’s Armor Set – Pre-Order Bonus | ✓ |
The Eclipse Edition is currently priced at $79.99 on both the US PlayStation Store and Steam.
In other words, the Eclipse Edition costs $10 more than the Standard Edition and adds the three digital extras.
Day 1 Edition
The physical Day 1 Edition currently includes:
| Content | Included |
|---|---|
| The Blood of Dawnwalker – Full Game | ✓ |
| Steelbook® | ✓ |
| World Map | ✓ |
| Sangoran Wayfarer’s Armor Set – Pre-Order Bonus | ✓ |
Collector’s Edition
The international Collector’s Edition includes:
| Content | Included |
|---|---|
| The Blood of Dawnwalker – Full Game | ✓ |
| Steelbook® | ✓ |
| World Map | ✓ |
| PureArts® Coen Figurine in Collector Box | ✓ |
| Physical World Compendium | ✓ |
| Digital World Compendium | ✓ |
| Digital Comic Book | ✓ |
| Digital Soundtrack | ✓ |
| Sangoran Wayfarer’s Armor Set – Pre-Order Bonus | ✓ |
The European official site specifies a 23 cm Coen figurine, a 60-page hardcover World Compendium, and a 33 × 40 cm world map.
There is one noteworthy regional difference: Bandai Namco’s US game page also lists a Gold-Laminated Sticker Set as part of the Collector’s Edition, while the European product page currently does not list it.
Because of this, the exact physical contents of the Collector’s Edition may vary by region.
Pre-Order Bonus
Pre-ordering the game includes the in-game Sangoran Wayfarer’s Armor Set.
According to the official description, this is an early unlock rather than an exclusive item: players who do not pre-order will still be able to obtain the armor later through normal gameplay.
That’s a nice detail.
You don’t have to pre-order the game just to permanently avoid missing a piece of equipment.
Unlike the Japanese store, which explicitly states a September 2, 2026 at 11:59 PM JST deadline for its digital pre-order bonus, the international Bandai Namco pages do not currently give one universal worldwide cutoff time. Availability may therefore depend on your region, platform, and retailer.
