What do I get for Pre-Purchasing?
Check out what is included in each bundle here: https://playstormgate.com/prepurchase

When will I get my rewards?
Most Early Access Pack content will be available in-game on July 30. Vanguard Campaign Chapters 2 and 3, included in the Ultimate Early Access Pack, will be released later during Early Access.

What is a Hero? (Vanguard, Infernal, or Celestial Hero)
Heroes are playable in 3P Co-op and our future 3v3 mode. These characters have unique abilities and can change how the faction armies play, including modifying the core tech trees and unlocking new units and abilities as they earn progression.

What is in a "Chapter"? (Vanguard Campaign - Chapter 1 Missions, etc.)
Chapters are Campaign Mission packs that players can enjoy to experience the ongoing and ever-evolving Stormgate campaign. Each Chapter will include at least three missions. These are solo missions that, during Early Access, will also become playable with friends. Frost Giant Studios plans to release new Chapters several times a year.

What is a Fog of War shader?
A Fog of War Shader is a cosmetic reward that applies a new visual effect to the Fog of War. We think they look pretty cool, but they provide no tactical benefit.

When are Preview Weeks? And who is participating?
Stormgate's Early Access Preview takes place July 30 through August 12, 2024. To be eligible to play during the Early Access Preview, players may pre-purchase one of the three Early Access Packs on Steam. Kickstarter and Indiegogo backers at the Founders Pack level and above are also eligible to participate in the Preview, as are all previous closed beta testers.

I thought Stormgate was Free-to-Play?
The Stormgate base game will be free to play starting August 13, 2024. Pre-purchases are available to players who are interested in receiving cosmetic rewards, playing before the Early Access release during the July 30 through August 12 Preview period, and owning Hero and Campaign content.

Will I keep the progress I earn during the Preview period?
Yes! Any Hero progression and Leaderboard ranking you earn during the July 30 through August 12 Preview period will carry over into the August 13 Early Access release.

I bought a Founder's package on Kickstarter/Indiegogo. Do I have to buy it again on Steam?
Unless you’re purchasing it as a gift, Founders should not buy the Pre-Purchase packs again on Steam as the in-game content provided is the same.

Will the Steam pre-purchase packages still be available after Early Access starts?
Yes. However, please note that the Firestorm fog of war shader, the gold Vanguard army accent, and the chicken supporter pet will not be sold in the in-game shop, so those can only be picked up in an Early Access bundle.

Do you offer Dynamic Bundling?
We do not support Dynamic Bundles at this time. Please carefully review all of your options before making a purchase. If you purchase a Campaign Chapter or Hero individually through the in-game store, we do not have the ability to upgrade or discount your purchase if you then decide that you want one of the Early Access Packs.
