Red 5 Studios is heading to PAX Prime on August 31st to showcase their
upcoming F2P open world shooter, Firefall.
The game, being exhibited in the Firefall Mobile Gaming Unit parked
outside the convention center, will feature its largest update ever, and a
fully functional cash shop. They will also be offering a number of
Founders Package pre-order packages with in-game bonuses when the game
goes live.

Laguna Hills, CA – August 28, 2012 – Red
5 Studios
announced today that it’s returning to PAX Prime on
August 31st with its upcoming open world PC shooter, Firefall. In
addition to featuring the in-game store and Firefall’s largest update
ever, the Tribe is celebrating at PAX with new limited edition Founders
Packages – on sale this Friday, August 31st, at a special discounted
price. Red 5 will also have its tournament-on-wheels, the Firefall
Mobile Gaming Unit, outside of the convention center at 9th & Pine
for fans to explore before it departs on its cross country tour this
fall. Red 5 Studios and Firefall will be located at booth 3103 &
3203 all weekend long.

“The store launch is a very important step for us,” said Mark Kern, CEO
of Red 5. “Not just because we’re monetizing Firefall but also because
we’re beta testing our free-to-play model for the first time. We’ve done
our best to give players cool and original in-game items to purchase at
a fair price – our discounted Founders Packages are part of that – but
we’re always looking for ways to improve the experience. Our commitment
to incorporating community feedback doesn’t stop at monetization.”

Firefall’s in-game store is currently live, offering an initial set of
aesthetic items, XP boosts, pets and more. Red 5 has promised that there
won’t be any more character wipes, but they’re emphasizing that the game
and its store are still considered to be in beta. Everyone is encouraged
to give their feedback and help the Tribe continue to improve the game.

Early adopters will be able to support Firefall by purchasing one of
Red 5’s limited edition Founders Packages going on sale this Friday,
August 31st: http://bit.ly/MWFWtX.
