How to Get the Heritage Pack Pre-Order Bonus in Resonance

Claim the Heritage Pack with Minoan Sword, Alec's Pendant, and digital artbook through pre-order on all platforms.

What Is the Heritage Pack?

The Heritage Pack is a free pre-order bonus for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, confirmed by Focus Entertainment across all platforms. It includes three items: the Minoan Sword (a cosmetic weapon variant), Alec's Pendant (an accessory item), and a 30+ page in-game digital artbook showcasing concept art and development materials from Asobo Studio.

The Minoan Sword features unique visual design inspired by Minoan craftsmanship, distinguishing it from the seven discoverable swords found during gameplay. Alec's Pendant connects to Sophia's backstory and her father's research on the island.

How to Pre-Order on Each Platform

PlayStation 5: Pre-order through the PlayStation Store. The Heritage Pack downloads automatically with the base game at launch or pre-load. PlayStation Plus pre-order bonuses may stack with retailer-specific promotions — check the store page for current offers.

Xbox Series X|S and PC: Pre-order via the Microsoft Store or pre-order the Steam/Epic version through their respective storefronts. Xbox Game Pass subscribers who pre-order the premium edition or purchase outright receive the Heritage Pack. Game Pass-only subscribers should verify whether the pack requires a separate pre-order claim.

PC (Steam and Epic): Both storefronts list the Heritage Pack on the store page under pre-order bonuses. Add Resonance to your wishlist and pre-purchase before August 27, 2026 to guarantee the bonus content unlocks at launch.

Claiming and Accessing the Pack

Heritage Pack items typically unlock at first launch after verifying pre-order entitlement. Check the inventory or codex menu for the Minoan Sword and Alec's Pendant. The artbook is accessible through an in-game menu separate from the main inventory — look for a codex or extras section.

If items do not appear, verify pre-order status on your platform account, ensure the game is fully updated to launch-day patch version, and restart the application. Contact platform support with your pre-order receipt if entitlement issues persist beyond 24 hours post-launch.

Is the Heritage Pack Worth Pre-Ordering?

Since the Heritage Pack is free with pre-order at no additional cost, pre-ordering is worthwhile if you plan to buy at launch regardless. The Minoan Sword provides a unique cosmetic from day one, and the artbook offers behind-the-scenes insight into Asobo Studio's creative process for the Minotaur's Island setting.

For Game Pass players, confirm pre-order bonus eligibility on the official store page — policies may differ between subscription-only access and purchased copies. Visit our release hub for the latest pre-order details as launch approaches.
