Sony Online Entertainment has confirmed that Vanguard is in the final weeks of conversion to free-to-play. With help from the community giving feedback, they are hopeful to launch the game as a free-to-play product by July.
“Over the next several weeks, we expect to begin rolling out a number of improvements throughout the game, in preparation for our free-to-play launch,” Andy Sites, director of development. “And, as I mentioned earlier, we’ll need your help testing these changes in order to refine and finalize our improvements so expect to see many of our developers recruiting your help in the Vanguard forums soon!”
“Lastly, I want to answer the question I’m sure is at the top of your lists – the release date. We are planning our free-to-play transition this summer and as much as we’d love to share a specific date with all of you, we want to make sure we take the appropriate time to test and do this right so that way we’re ultimately delivering the best possible experience to our players. As I mentioned in my last Producer letter, we assembled our team with only the most passionate Vanguard developers. Therefore, you can rest assured that they’ve fought tooth and nail to acquire as much polish time as possible! Again, thank you all for your feedback and continued devotion to the game, and as always, please visit the Vanguard forums for the latest news and game updates. We’ll see you online!” Sites concluded.
