The subscription-based model hasn’t worked out as Heatwave Interactive had hoped for Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising. Yesterday the developer announced that it will be trying its hand at the free-to-play model and has ended the game’s subscription fee and is giving current players full access to the game’s content until the new free-to-play model kicks in. Additionally, the full game’s price will be available next week at the reduced price of $9.99.

The Gods & Heroes team also promised that loyal fans would be acknowledged and rewarded with the game’s free-to-play re-launch.

To all our loyal players, we offer our sincere appreciation and assurance that your commitment and investment will be acknowledged and rewarded through Gods & Heroes’ evolution and re-launch.
