King of the World will become Free-to-play the 29th of March!



As you can probably read from the title King of the World is going free-to-play the 29th of March. This is something we have considered for some time and we felt now the game is in a good state and we want more people to enjoy what we've spent 2½ years developing.

It is no secret the game never achieved a large enough audience to reach even close to the potential we feel the multiplayer has, hopefully going free to play will bring in that audience.

We also want to thank everyone that has supported and bought the game through these years, and we don't feel it would be fair if free players gained access to everything the people that paid for it has. So here's how we're going to do it:

The base game will become free, and we're going to release a DLC named "Definitive Edition" which will have the same pricing and feature all the current content we're having now.

The Free-to-play will feature the following:

  • Unlimited access to the Matchmaking
  • Will be able to join custom games
  • Will be able to gain DG (Dimensional Gold) to unlock skins etc.

The Definitive Edition will feature the following:

  • Singleplayer Campaign
  • Hosting of custom games
  • Map Editor
  • Higher DG rewards (Same as now, Free-to-play will be lowered)

All owners of the game before it becomes free will be gifted the Definitive Edition.

At last we really want to hear your thoughts and hopefully help us spread the word so we can get a large audience to have some epic Multiplayer battles!
