ATLANTA. January 30, 2012.
This week, Hi-Rez Studios (www.hirezstudios.com) celebrates the two-year anniversary of the award-winning, free-to-play game Global Agenda. The Shooter MMO launched on February 1, 2010 as an action combat and sci-fi alternative to more traditional fantasy MMO titles. Elves still exist in the MMO world, says Todd Harris, Hi-Rez Studios Chief Operating Officer. Just not within our world.
In 2011 Global Agenda transitioned to a free-to-play model, was relaunched as the very first free-to-play game on Steam and delivered the Recursive Colony expansion which included new instanced PvP, new instanced PvE, and an entirely new Open Zone.
Since launch Global Agenda has seen:
- Over 1,000,000 registered players
- Over 12,000,000 PvE missions
- Over 1,400,000 PvP missions
