OI LADZ, WE’Z BACK!

Hey all you freeks that love speed, here’s the big news we were talking about…

SPEED FREEKS is leaving early access and launching version 1.0 next week on May 22nd, the same day of the Warhammer SKULLS showcase.
This 1.0 launch signifies a few major things, one being that we’ve got a new publisher, Wired Productions. Why does this matter to you? Well, with this publishing switch-up comes big changes to the way the game currently works, meaning it’s no longer Free-to-Play (which had most of its content behind a paywall), and instead is now a low-priced game that comes with the majority of its content included.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An important note for those of you who played the early access version of the game: you will be getting the launch version for free! It’s already in your library and will update to 1.0 on May 22nd.

Us moving away from F2P also means that we can do things like:

• Have player-hosted matches with custom settings, including creating bots-only games if desired
  
• Have private games functionality
  
• Add a new Free-Roam mode to explore any map and create custom races - an awesome feature that helps illustrate how much more agency players have over the game
  
• Remove the 3rd party PROS account that was previously mandatory

Plenty more things to reveal, including new content as well, but you'll have to wait until launch day!

Now, to finalize the conversion of moving the game away from F2P, we’ll need to take it offline for a couple days, so SPEED FREEKS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO PLAY from Tuesday May 20th until Thursday the 22nd, when the game launches version 1.0. We apologize for the inconvenience, but this is a necessary step towards launching with the new changes.

In the meantime, we hope you have a wonderful weekend, and we’ll say that we’re very excited to see how everyone likes the revamped and improved full launch of Speed Freeks!

Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks will be available May 22nd at a special discounted price of just $15.99, 15.99€ and £12.99.

Prepare to GET STUCK IN!
