Preorder DLC

[corrosivefrost]

Bandai Namco usually makes the preorder DLC purchasable after the game has launched -- in fact, Code Vein on PS4 has a store package for the preorder DLC available from the day the game launched for $4.99.

When can we expect this to show up on PC? I understand from my conversation on twitter with @RashBandai that there were some sort of technical issues preventing either (1) getting the PC patched to the same level/version as console releases, (2) the availability of the preorder dlc being put up for sale, or both (1) and (2).

Seems like the technical issues should've really only affected (1), so that leaves me wondering... where the hell is the option to give you $5 for the pre-order DLC package, Bamco?

You get them from season pass

I own the season pass and I'm definitely missing content so this isn't true unless they changed what's in the Season Pass; last I checked, this was like Tekken 7 and Eliza [standard Bandai Namco pre-order content not included in SP]. There's a DLC sub out there for the preorder bundle that isn't included with my deluxe copy, seen in this screenshot taken by a friend who did preorder the game:

@RashBandai answered me on twitter, but I believe the response was mostly geared toward the PC version's missing patch:

No

To be fair "preorder" tag only makes sence if they at least wait for a while before releasing it for the rest.

IMO giving how short-lived the game appeared to be they could release it already, but mb they have fixed plan for this that they are not willing to reconsider for whatever reason.

PS
Fact that consoles got it released right-away means they directly lied to their customers who got the "preorder" which is rather nasty.

meh, its just cosmetic. not worth a cent

might hope it will be just given for free instead like some other game.

we'll get more when the dlcs out anyway.

It's only out on PSN but still... I'd like confirmation it's coming since there's no correlating steam package while the Xbox store has a page for it.

Not entirely. Unique weapons and blood code. Particularly for early game from what I read, for the weapons at least.

And I guess you're not a fashion souls type player.

It's out on Xbox since launch, too ;)

go to steam support and remove your game, then buy Deluxe Edition. Not recommended unless you're super rich.

I think it's unfair to make the pre-order DLC only unavailable on PC. Both PS4 and XBO players can buy the pre-order DLC on their store, but only not on Steam. I hope this is just a mistake someday Bandai Namco would sell it on Steam too.

LOL, at that point, you may lose access to your pre-order DLC though.

Buy Deluxe Edition of Code Vein from 3rd party publisher stores like Humble or Fanatical, then redeem it on the Steam account that has basic edition of the game. It will overrides the game and adds additional Deluxe Edition contents without losing pre-order bonus. I don't think additional contents from Deluxe Edition worth $80 but it's possible to get Deluxe contents by this method.

On Xbox One and PS4, yes. For $4.99. On PC? No. Don't know why but it's not sale on Steam.

This is exactly why I started this topic -- I was hoping to catch the eye of someone from Bandai Namco so they could comment or fix the issue and make the pre-order dlc bundle available for purchase.

They just need to press the button to make this package available for purchase and set the price to $4.99:
