Hey everyone,
Since we made our big announcement last week, we’ve seen a few questions about the various levels of backer perks we’ve been offering up until now. We thought it was a good time to go through our plans.
We’re going stop offering all backer levels (Explorer, Adventurer, etc) on Monday the 13th August 2018. This won’t affect existing backers - but after 12 noon BST / UTC+1 on this date, Steam will be updated to stop selling the game, and pre-orders for launch will commence. There will be two tiers available, these are the base version of Boundless, and the Deluxe Digital Edition.
Of course, we will still be accepting upgrades all the way up to noon on the 13th. So you’ve got a little time if you’d like to make your support of Boundless even more awesome. If you’ve got any questions on upgrading, then please respond to the upgrade forum thread.
Once we stop selling the backer tiers, we’ll begin the process of organising perks for existing players. We will have to collect some details for this and will be in a position to do so after the 13th August.
New pre-orders will be granted entry to the game on Friday the 7th September 2018, which marks a huge milestone for Boundless as we will see our first ever PS4 players enter the universe.
So, to recap;
Monday 13th August:
- Backer purchases and upgrades will no longer be available after 12 noon.
- All backer editions of Boundless will then be removed from playboundless.com.
- Boundless and the Digital Deluxe edition will then be available for pre-order on Steam. New players will not be able to enter the game at this point.
Shortly after Monday 13th August:
- We will begin gathering the details we need to deliver backer perks.
- The launch universe will be released.
Friday 7th September:
- PC and PS4 pre-orders will be granted entry to Boundless.
Tuesday 11th September:
- The official launch date of Boundless on PC and PS4.
Thanks all - hope you’re all excited for the big 1.0!
