Track it all down.
Battle Royale’s a very competitive thing, and not just in game. The market almost immediately filled up with games that wanted to be in that coveted top spot. And so, Darwin Project, in an effort to grow their playerbase, has gone free to play. In a statement, the game’s Creative Director Simon Darveau said:
We’ve said from the start that we’re committed to creating a fresh and exciting experience for Darwin Project players and viewers. With features like the Show Director who serves as a master of ceremonies, Spectator Interactions that let viewers directly interact with streams, and an emphasis on tracking that ensures players are always within arm’s reach of a tense confrontation, we still believe Darwin Project offers a quality experience unlike any other battle royale game out there.
We’ve been fortunate to have a core community of players join us at a very early stage, with many still supporting us during Early Access, and the last thing we want to do is let those passionate players down. Lately, members of our community have reported longer queue times and difficulty finding matches in lesser populated servers. To bring in new players and maintain a level of activity that ensures players are able to get the most of out Darwin Project, we’ve decided to make it more accessible by removing the price tag.
We’re aware that it’s a big change, and we want to reiterate that we’re remaining true to Darwin Project’s vision as we move forward.
Notably, they’re not going to leave those that paid for the game hanging in the wind. All players who bought the game before it became free to play will get a Founder’s Pack, containing “2 MTL Legendary sets, 3 Legendary Axes, 3 Legendary Bows, a full jumpsuit collection, and 5 Fan Gifts”. The Founder’s Pack will be added to their inventories on April 24th. And if you’d rather have a refund, they’re going to be accommodating to that, too, though they’re still figuring out the process for that. Most importantly, they stress that Darwin Project will never be pay to win.
So, since it’s now free, it’s worth it to get in there and track down those other players. Happy hunting!
