Free Realms to get trading card game
What? You didn’t see this coming? I mean, FreeRealms is marketed almost dominantly towards kids so it’s no surprise Sony has taken appropriate action.
Anyways, it was recently announced that a deal between Sony Online Entertainment and Topps was inked resulting in a FreeRealms trading card game.
The first batch shiped to retailers includes 180 different trading cards broken down into both booster packs and starter decks. Kotaku is reporting that the starter deck will sell for $9.99 and include 40 cards, a playmat, an exlusive in-game pet, t-shirt and racing cart. The booster pack, however, will ship with just cards and will sell for $3.99.
The real thing that will have kids coming back for more, however, is that eat set will include a loot card which players can redeem for a virtual items.
Free Realms to go public tomorrow
Having been released as a closed beta back in February, Sony has decided to finally take the wraps off of their free MMO Free Realms — It was recently announced that Free Realms will be leaving its beta stage and be released to the public tomorrow, April 28th
Free Realms is a different kind of MMO, focusing on exploration, mini-games, and pet training (among other things) instead of hand to hand combat. Of course, it includes hand to hand combat but Kotaku reports it is completely optional.
This unqiue approach makes Free Realms a good experience for young and old gamers alike.
