Gow Laufey pre-orders go live on September 29 at 10:00am local time, giving PlayStation 5 buyers a fixed window before the game arrives on February 16, 2027. The preorder announcement also folds in edition details and a closer look at Faye’s combat kit, which is the part buyers can actually weigh before placing an order.
Faye and The Serpent Bow
Faye’s new weapon in Everywhen is The Serpent Bow, an enchanted bow with the shifting form of a serpent. It can move from dormant to notched at lightning speed, and it works at both close range and from a distance. Fully pressing the aim trigger gives more precise aim and increased draw distance, while half pressing it shifts her into a more mobile hip-fire stance.
In that hip-fire stance, Faye can fire a cluster of arrows for close-range damage, and by fully pressing the aim trigger she can charge the bow and stack up to five arrows for a powerful volley. She can also impair an enemy’s movement or ability to strike by hitting certain points on the enemy’s body, which makes the weapon sound built for control as much as damage.
Digital Deluxe Edition details
The Digital Deluxe Edition includes the Dark Alchemy Bow Scales. The Serpent Bow can also use different types of Scales that change both its look and the playstyle it specializes in, and it has unlockable skills as well. Faye’s armor options add another layer, letting players choose between gameplay perks, stats, and unique looks.
That leaves the preorder pitch with a clear split: the article says it will break down the preorder bonus and the Digital Deluxe Edition, but the actual contents of the pre-order bonus are not listed. Buyers can already compare edition components and bow options, yet the main incentive beyond the deluxe item still needs to be spelled out before purchase day.
September 29 at 10:00am
Santa Monica Studio thanked players for the interest and support shown for the game since its reveal in June. That timing matters because the preorder window opens well before launch, and the announcement gives prospective buyers the first concrete purchasing milestone after the reveal.
For anyone planning to buy, the practical move is simple: mark September 29 at 10:00am local time, then decide whether the Standard Edition is enough or whether the Digital Deluxe Edition’s Dark Alchemy Bow Scales justify the upgrade. The missing piece is the pre-order bonus itself, and that is the one detail that still determines whether the early window is a routine opening or the best-value entry point.
