Trinium Wars is now Free

Hanmaru Soft’s sci-fi MMO Trinium Wars has now moved to a free-to-play model. After its initial launch on Steam, the game has received mixed reviews, with a number of users stating that they weren’t ready to play the game at a premium. There’s still the option to purchase special editions with additional paid content, but the base game is now a free download to everyone.

“We have thought long and hard about this major change and while we always kept the business model open in our Early Access FAQ, we were not sure of this until recently. While we had hoped that TW could be sustainable both financially and population-wise in a Buy-to-Play model, it turned out that just to many of you have waited to buy the title (even with the recent discount) or outright neglected it until it is Free-to-Play. In reviews, forum posts and our recent survey we were asked to switch to a free version and we have listened. From now on the basic game will be available for free while we are still selling the Deluxe and Collector's Editions that contain valuable items and in-game currency. “

Trinium Wars is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi MMORPG set 200 years after World War III. Join either Humanity trying to re-conquer Earth, or the Narc, an ancient alien race. It features MOBA-style PvP and the persistent battlefield where players battle it out for the titular mineral trinium, which is the most valuable resource in the universe.
