Red 5 Studios announces a July 29th launch date for Firefall, their upcoming
open-world MMO shooter that's been in open beta testing
for exactly one year. The company has
reorganized and
changed CEOs during that span, but
now they say things are on track for an official release:
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.
Firefall will be available completely free-to-play, with opportunities for
cosmetic and convenience upgrades. Special Firefall Launch Packs are also
available for purchase, which will include items ranging from the exclusive
multiplayer vehicle to a digital soundtrack and a concept art-book. For more
information about the digital content packs and early access, visit

“The update we are releasing for launch will be the largest update we have ever
had,” said Macauley. “It will quadruple the amount of world space in Firefall
and add roughly 15-times the amount of content we have had previously in Beta.”
With the release of Firefall, the company has also announced a new website, with
full game details, community updates, and more at
