The popular multiplayer online battle arena titleHeroes of Newerthis going free to play as of today. The action RPG has introduced three tiered accounts in a bid to attract new players into its community and keep the existing 460,000 active players happy.
The online gaming space is becoming increasingly crowded, so transitioning your game to being free to play seems like a smart move. “With the transition to free-to-play we’re openingHeroes of Newerthup to new audiences as our players can now easily introduce the game to their friends,” says Marc DeForest, co-founder of S2 games. “With the new account types and match-making standards in place, both novice and existing players will benefit from the upgraded structure.”
IfHeroes of Newerthcan attract a new player base whilst keeping the existing one, then I imagine it’ll be around for a while to come.
