Although this news will still ruffle the feathers of some die-hard Battlerite fans, there's no doubting it's good value. Considering you had to pay for Early Access to Battlerite's beta, I think this is good value. I suspect Battlerite Royale will eventually be free anyway, but considering you get a cool mount and support SLS in their development, why not? Full press release here.

The community has always been and will always be important to us – Battlerite was created to give something back to the Bloodline Champions community while taking on the challenge to create the best top-down arena experience in the world.

Since last year, we’ve been working on new modes and trying to discover different ways of enjoying Battlerite’s signature combat system. In contrast to the intense and hyper competitive Arena gameplay, we wanted to create an experience that fully utilizes the thrilling Battlerite combat while challenging the player in new ways. When we prototyped Royale, it did not take long until we realized that it had a lot of potential. Later in development, it became obvious that sharing the same balance and philosophy as Arena restricted the possibilities within Royale.
