Fallen Earth, developed by indie studio Icarus Studios, is going free to play after having been picked up by GamersFirst - the same company that will be bringing APB back to life as APB: Reloaded. But what will that mean for the post-apocalyptic MMO?
In the game's first development blog post, the Fallen Earth team sets up the details - the game will be free to play, but will also feature various forms of tiered membership.
"Three different Premium memberships will be available, but it will be possible to play the full game from Sector 1 to Sector one billion* forever without ever paying a dime. Literally. You don't have to buy quests or zones or classes or skills or levels or anything," the company writes. But adds that "please don't break our poor little idealist hearts by playing free forever, okay?"
To find out more about the three different levels of premium membership, read up on the blog post. The transition to F2P won't happen until Q4 this year, though.
