Fury is Free
Gamecock and Auran Games have announced that they have chosen a ‘free to download, free to play’ business model for their arena combat game Fury. The new model will begin with the release of the first major free content update “Age of the Chosen” on December 14.
“FURY was built around giving players options that suit their play style and their wallet,” said Tony Hilliam, CEO of Auran. “With the AotC update, we are introducing a new player category called “Chosen”. As one of the Chosen, players can access all game types, equip all weapons and unlock all 400 abilities – and they can play as much as they like absolutely free. This is a fantastic opportunity for players to jump into battle with their mates and discover the frenetic pace of the fastest RPG combat ever. Chosen will earn less gold and essence, and will not be able to trade with other players.”
They will still be selling in-game upgrades like the “Hero” status that allows players to earn more essence and gold in-game. The free content update that is being released this week will see two new game types introduced – Carnage and 1v1 Elimination.
