An Omega subscription to EVE Online won't get you into EVE Vanguard: you need a Founder Pack. Fenris Creations clarified the sale terms on November 6, and the store and paid alpha open on November 10 at 11:00 UTC, alongside the Fractured Skies expansion. The key inside stays on your account through full release, so you only pay for entry once.
In short
- When: November 10, 11:00 UTC
- Where: EVE launcher only, Steam from Q3 2027
- Price: Founder Packs from $15 to $514
- Omega: does not grant access
- Language: Steam lists English only
The alpha runs only through the EVE launcher. The shooter reaches Steam with its Early Access launch in Q3 2027, with occasional Steam playtests planned before that.
What the packs cost and include
| Pack | Price | Besides the key |
|---|---|---|
| Resonant | $15 | Keshik M247 T1 blueprint and a crafter program |
| Contraband, 4 versions | $30 each | a mercenary corp's skins for all 4 weapons, an empire emblem, a blueprint |
| Fulcrum | $100 | all 16 skins, 4 emblems, all blueprints, the Banshee M247 weapon |
| Legacy | $514 | everything in Fulcrum, 5 keys for friends, VIP Discord, a team video call, a lore credit, a Fanfest ticket |
The Support the Devs option is a plain donation of $15, $50 or $100 and will not get you into the alpha. The Banshee M247 is sold only during the founder period.
Fenris Creations says the packs don't sell power but do let you skip some of the grind. Each one carries blueprints, crafter programs and materials. On November 6 the studio clarified the terms: the key lands on your account as soon as you buy, and skins, emblems and blueprints are granted once, so a second pack only adds what you're missing.
What arrives after launch
The link to EVE Online is live in the November build: each finished job adds special campaign sites in space. The September announcement had put the faction war contribution further out.
December is due to bring full controller support. Q2 2027 adds faction enlistment, the Underground Sectors map and a heavy dropsuit, and Q3 adds the Warbarge map and a light dropsuit. The Fractured Skies announcement on October 20 promised Vanguard's Conquest contribution from February, while Factional Warfare enlistment now sits in Q2. The studio warns the schedule can still change.
Steam lists English as the only language. You can set a launch reminder on the game page.
