Early Access & Free DLC? – 40k Eternal Crusade

 

Eternal-Crusade- marine video game dark angel

Eternal Crusade is about to get some open world action thanks to some early access alpha love. Plus free DLC for the game to boot! Find out how and why!

The game looks very promising, the character advancement system in-depth, and the very ambitious goals of developing an immersive Campaign system with both PvE and PvP elements, with 60+ players at once. Whew, I need to take a breath after typing all that.

I mean, after looking at the screen shots I’m certainly drooling

I personally have been on the fence about Eternal Crusade; I played more hours of Space Marine, by THQ, than any human ever should on Both PS3 and xbox. (yes, I played both version to the max and I would even play the PvE in single player mode, chain sword and health regen, come get some Orks.) However, a MMORPG sounds a bit TOO addicting, but my interest is certainly piqued.

Regardless, this game is shaping up nicely and the developers are certainly doing their best to interact with the community, which is always a good thing.

If you’re looking to support a company that is creating a world in our favorite Grim Dark setting and is actively interacting with a community look no further.

As Rob would say, here’s a “super spicy” bit of news from Nathan Richardson, Senior Producer,:

As with any online game, we will continue post-launch development for years. We find it a very strange practice that in a game designed to play with friends, you can pay for a DLC that denies them from playing with you. Add a few more of that type of DLC, and none of you could play together at all. That’s not how we roll. We don’t want to segment the player-base, so you will all get new content, updates and an expansion every 3 months, for free.

Um, Fact: that’s Amazing.

Seriously, one of my biggest gripes was DLC segmenting populations. Even better a possibility of cross platform play. (okay, maybe not so super for PvP considering keyboard and mouse is better than a controller but still neat) I’ll be honest, this is a super tempting offer and I’m really excited to see how this all pans out.

-So who’s going to take the plunge?
