Champions Online, the other MMO about superheros will start a free to play model beginning January 25th, 2011. Â Titled the “Free For All” update, it will offer new premium content that can be purchased inside the game. Â Of course, you still have the option to pay the monthly fee if you wish. Â If you take that road you get most of the game’s content unlocked plus additional unnamed perks all for the cost of $14.99.
“Transitioning Champions Online to the free-to-play model is a great opportunity to reach a whole new audience of PC gamers that view subscription fees as a barrier to entry,” said John Needham, CEO of Cryptic Studios. “By taking care of our current subscription-based community and welcoming the addition of new players through free-to-play, Champions Online is poised to build upon its success and to establish a new leadership position as the first free-to-play superhero MMO.”
