The Relic First Guardian DLC & Editions
Digital add-ons, physical PS5 bundles, and what each SKU includes now that the game is live.
Now that The Relic: First Guardian is available on PC (Steam) and PlayStation 5, buying decisions shift from wishlists to SKUs. This page explains The Night of the Unextinguished Flame as standalone digital DLC, how it relates to the former pre-order pack, and what the September 4, 2026 physical PlayStation 5 edition adds beyond the base game.
For entitlement history and item descriptions, also read the pre-order bonus page. For platform timing, see release date and the launch news timeline.
Night of the Unextinguished Flame (digital DLC)
Perp Games originally marketed The Night of the Unextinguished Flame as a pre-order bonus before launch. Post-launch, the same content is available as paid digital DLC on supported storefronts for roughly $9.99 USD / £7.99 GBP (regional pricing varies — always confirm your store page before checkout).
Confirmed contents from official materials:
| Item | Role |
|---|---|
| Sanctuary of the Forgotten Light | Exclusive dungeon with currency and upgrade material rewards |
| Sealstone of the Undying Ember | Unique Relic / Sealstone passive |
| Armor of the Unextinguished Vigil | Legendary-tier unique armor set |
| Unextinguished Vigil (Sword & Shield) | Legendary unique weapon pair |
Store copy also highlights practical rewards inside the dungeon loop: gold, Ancient Relic Energy, upgrade materials, and gear that supports early Sword and Shield parry practice. None of this replaces learning combat fundamentals — it accelerates a coherent first build.
Who should buy the DLC?
- Sword and Shield mains — the Unextinguished Vigil set reinforces Groggy and guard loops from day one.
- Collectors of unique gear — every weapon and armor piece in Arsiltus is a one-of-a-kind story artifact.
- Players who skipped pre-order — you can still enter the Sanctuary without rebuying the base game.
Wait if you are still evaluating performance on your PC rig or if you prefer to finish the opening region vanilla first. Mixed launch-week reception makes a base-game trial reasonable — see post-launch support.
Relation to the former pre-order pack
If you pre-ordered on Steam or PSN before July 31, 2026, the Night of the Unextinguished Flame content should appear as an entitlement without a separate purchase. New buyers after launch add it through the DLC SKU.
Important distinctions:
- This is not a typed promo code — see the codes page for any future campaigns.
- DLC ownership is tied to your platform account, not a save file.
- Physical disc buyers joining September 4 may receive bundled codes or on-disc entitlements — verify Perp Games and retailer notes for your region.
Full item lore and Hervan’s vigil theme remain on the pre-order bonus page.
Physical PlayStation 5 edition (September 4, 2026)
Digital PS5 owners entered Arsiltus on launch day. Physical PS5 copies arrive September 4, 2026 with additional collector-oriented contents beyond the base disc:
- Paper map of Arsiltus for offline routing
- The Night of the Unextinguished Flame content (same DLC described above)
- Black Banquet DLC — a separate add-on bundled with the physical SKU per publisher messaging
Physical buyers therefore skip buying Night of the Unextinguished Flame separately if the bundle matches their region SKU. Confirm the back-of-box and retailer listing — regional packs can differ.
Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 versions remain scheduled for later summer 2026 without locked dates. Their DLC SKUs may appear on different timelines; watch the release date matrix.

How DLC interacts with guides
- Run the Sanctuary early if you own the pack — treat it as a controlled tutorial space per getting started.
- Socket the Sealstone using Relics and builds principles, not random shiny passives.
- Upgrade the Unextinguished Vigil weapons at Hersom following weapons and crafting.
- After DLC gear, return to open-world Event Trails via sealing stones.
