After a long and undoubtedly checkered development period, Red 5 has finally announced Firefall is nearing its official release date. Set to go live on July 29th, Firefall's official launch is said to be much more than a mere rebranding from Open Beta. On top of introducing several major changes aimed at simplifying the MMO's progression and crafting systems, Firefall will also receive its largest content update ever.

According to Red 5, the official launch update will quadruple the amount of world space in Firefall and add roughly 15-times the amount of content previously available during beta. New zones will be added at launch including Devil's Tusk and a brand new open-world continent in which players can opt to participate in PvP while capturing, controlling territory, and harvesting resources. The introduction of open world PvP is a feature long requested by fans and represents the return of PvP after Firefall's instanced based PvP was removed last year.

Firefall is currently available to download through the official site however, players may also elect to download the game through Steam after launch.

Game was fine in cb, after super crap changes game is down, super shit crafting system is first thing wich ruined game, repetetive 3 minute quests and neverending thumping over and over and over and over, all you do is these 3 min quests and thumping, there is nothing more, super shit crafting system, i cant believe what ideot implemented this shit, you need to grind years even with boosters to max out one character all skills, tonns of unknown materials, there is no tutorial even ,only player made, to build some stuff u need to google hours and hours, 8 or more years in developement , no one listening community, 90% negative comments about same things, hard to find some real players ingame in bigger cities, why they wasting time on dead game, without changes miracle wont happen.

There is one thing i’m worried about thou, if its open world pvp then that means those pvp crazed kiddies will be able to bother me during whatever it is i’ll be doing? that may not be good at all, i dislike to be bothered after all, hope they got nice punishment system at least so i can go hunting for their stuff after they go red. :) Although doubt pk system works in this game like in good ol’ L2 back in the day. xD

Probably not going to even play since they are removing everyone's resources for no reason, the only thing you have been able to do in Firefall is grind for resources because of the lack of content, now they are taking it all away, and the beta resource rewards thing is a joke they could not of put in a more terrible system, its so un-thought out, not to mention this is the second time they are doing it. Sorry Firefall i was a extreme fan of yours i even submitted multiple fan-art but but im not going to play your grind fest just to have it all taken away again.

Jeez, you people are so negative. I, for one, am looking forward to this new update and full launch, despite Firefall's shortcomings.

Ha ha, find this announcement of a launch funny, after so long.

Being on Steam, guess that could help increase numbers that will try it.

Went onto the site and saw they have Launch packages (cue more laughter).......they must have made so much money from founder's packages that they thought they could milk it further.

As soon as I saw Firefall, I expected a closure notice.

Its been dead for months, I haven't heard nor seen any sign of life from it in ages.
This is just like Trion continuing to try breathe life into the dead corpse of Rift. It's kinda sad.

Wow finally an official launch after several years of waiting for the beta to be closed. Got to quit long ago after fighting bugs while fighting bugs if you know what i mean :).

That's good news. Happy to see they've finally got something they are happy with. Was worried about the game for awhile. I might go back and check it out once it fully releases. Got kinda bored in the beta when all there was to do was find bugs, make suggestions, and...basically it. I'm not cut out to be a beta tester for a long period of time I suppose.

But grats to the R5 team for finally getting it to released status. I'm happy for them and hope it turns out into everything they want and everything the fans want.
