Trion Worlds announces a free mode is coming to Atlas Reactor, their simultaneous turn-based arena battle game. This is a bit of a full circle, as this launched as a free-to-play game before it switched to be a buy-to-play dealie. The change will come a week from tomorrow, and here are some details:

When we announced the buy-to-play business model for Atlas Reactor, we promised there would always be ways to check the game out for free. After a lot of planning and work, we’re happy to announce a new, all-free mode for Atlas Reactor that delivers on that promise. Here’s how it works.

First, you can play the game for free. Easy. Play as much as you want with the Freelancers that you see in a weekly freerotation. Earn reward caches containing a selection from hundreds of cosmetic banners, icons, emotes, titles, skins, styles, taunts, and more.

Want the full experience? One simple $19.99 purchase unlocks all the Freelancers, lets you play custom matches and participate in future tournaments, and is the core way for fans to show their support of the game.

Free Mode goes live both through Trion and Steam next Tuesday, August 9th.
