Prepare to defend Earth in this F2P MMO, coming in late July.

This morning Red 5 Studios announced that its F2P MMO, Firefall, will release on July 29, 2014. The game will be available for PC download via Steam or the Firefall website.

Firefall will be completely free-to-play, with opportunities for cosmetic and convenience upgrades. Special Firefall Launch Packs, which include items ranging from the exclusive multiplayer vehicle to a digital soundtrack and a concept art-book, are also available for purchase from the official site.

Firefall features campaign missions and exciting quests as well as dynamic events that appear throughout the world, offering players new experiences throughout as they embark on their adventure. As players explore the vast open-world from New Eden to Devil’s Tusk, they will encounter unique dynamic events, such as melding-fueled tornadoes, crystite meteor showers and Chosen incursions, which will bring new and exciting challenges to their Firefall experience. In addition to all of the PVE content, Firefall also features a large open-world PVP continent, where players can test their shooting skills and tactical abilities against other players to control outposts and resources in this hostile environment. 

“We designed a game with an extremely passionate and talented team,” said James Macauley, CEO of Red 5 Studios. “But Firefall wasn’t complete until we were able to incorporate the invaluable feedback from our enthusiastic community during the beta period. Firefall is as much their game as it is ours.”
