EVE Vanguard is targeting Steam Early Access launch by Q3 2027

Along the way, Fenris Creations will offer paid Founder's Packs that let users engage in alpha tests ahead of the Steam launch.

Fenris Creations has shared details about its plans to launch extraction shooter spinoff EVE Vanguard in Steam Early Access. Paid Founder’s Packs are available to get players into upcoming alpha tests, followed by Steam Early Access release by Q3 2027.

Fenris Creations announced the details of EVE Vanguard’s road to Steam Early Access in a press release, although the window for release is now listed on the game’s Steam page. For now, EVE Vanguard is now offering Founder’s Packs that will grant access to alpha testing expected to launch with a new update alongside the EVE Online: Fractured Skies content update.

Here’s the rundown of EVE Vanguard Founder’s Packs and the contents in each tier:

• Resonant Pack ($15): Includes permanent access through the EVE Launcher into full release, plus the Deployment-Ready Bundle of weapons, grenades and gear, the Keshik M247 Tier-2 blueprint and a support crafter program blueprint. Every Founder’s Pack includes this access and the same Deployment Ready Bundle.
• Contraband Packs ($30 each): Drawing on the mercenary corporations Circle of Huskarl, Crux Special Tasks Group, Amarr Templars and Zumari Force Projection. Each includes a Resonant Key, its corporation’s skin line for all four weapons, an empire weapon charm and a weapon or equipment blueprint.
• Fulcrum Pack ($100): Includes a Resonant Key, all 16 weapon skins, all four faction emblems, all faction blueprints and the Banshee M247, a faction variant weapon available for purchase only during Founder Access.
• Legacy Pack ($514): Includes everything in the Fulcrum Pack, an exclusive Avalon weapon emblem, VIP Discord access, a video call with the development team, the player’s name in the lore and a ticket to EVE Fanfest 2027. Its $514 price pays tribute to DUST 514, whose veteran mercenaries first took New Eden’s wars to the ground. The four corporations behind the Contraband Packs also draw on that shared history.

With Founder’s Packs available leading up to new alpha access in November and Steam Early Access planned for next year, stay tuned to the EVE Vanguard topic for more news and updates.
