Fenris Creations has announced pricing for EVE Vanguard Founder's Packs, with options ranging from $15 to $514. These packs offer permanent access to the game, beginning with a 24/7 alpha test scheduled for November 10, 2026.
Why it matters
The alpha test allows players to engage with development and provide feedback, while the packs provide a path to full release access. The $514 Legacy Pack price serves as a specific tribute to the history of DUST 514.
Founder's Packs are tiered at $15 for the Resonant Pack, $30 for the Contraband Pack, $100 for the Fulcrum Pack, and $514 for the Legacy Pack. The Legacy Pack uniquely includes a ticket to attend Fanfest 2027.
