    Just two months to go until your adventure begins! Biomutant will be out for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on May 25th, 2021. And we know, many of you have been waiting for some new gameplay footage - so here it is. Check out the new action-packed combat trailer, showcasing various aspects of Biomutant’s versatile combat system.

    Digital Pre-order starts today

    Today, the digital pre-order for Biomutant kicks off on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. You can pre-order the game now at your favorite store for an SRP of $ 59.99 / € 59.99 / 54.99 £. The game will offer the mercenary class as a pre-order bonus.

    Pre-order Bonus: The Mercenary

    The Mercenary offers a unique combination of perks and is playable from the start through this DLC only. The Mercenary has dual-wield as a starting ability and is geared up with a classic Katana and the shorter Wakizashi blades to explain it in real-world terms. Simply put, it'll let you experience the world of Biomutant as classic samurai-looking warrior from the very beginning.

    Who gets the Merc Class as a preorder incentive?

    The Merc class will be included in all digital preorders, as well as all physical Super SKUs of Biomutant (no matter if it is a preorder or not); inside there will be a little leaflet with the access codes on it. Preorders for the physical Standard Edition will not get the Mercenary.

    Will it be exclusive or is there a difference for PC and consoles in terms of digital preorder?

    No, they are basically the same; the only item that will be exclusive to the console will be a PS4 theme of Biomutant.

    Will I be able to buy the Merc after release?

    Yes, we will offer it also as a DLC post-release; the preorder incentive gives you get a slightly better deal if you preorder (base game plus "free" merc DLC) versus buying the game on release day, and then buying the Merc Class on top of that.

    I don't think it's the bad precedent you think it is, there's no indication that they intend to sell other classes or anything, they're just saying that the preorder bonus will also be available as a paid DLC for those who wait to get it later, which plenty of other games have done in the past. Not saying that locking something behind a preorder is good mind you, but I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt here that the policy is "late adopters can still buy this content" and not "we're going to microtransaction classes out the wazoo." Obviously I could be wrong, and if so I'll own up to it, but I think it's an overreaction to jump to the conclusion you seem to be making.
    Edit: Also it's a bit unclear, but it sounds like you can probably unlock the stuff like dual-wielding later on, the Merc just has it from the start of the game.

    It is funny that the merc class pre-order bonus is limited to all digital sales and only physical collector's editions.

    I still plan to get it eventually but it sounds like its very much a case of style over substance, and the world, while good-looking and unique is regrettably barren and shallow in terms of gameplay.
