All Points Bulletin publisher GamersFirst has shut down rumours that the free-to-play MMO will soon be getting a retail release.
“Given that APB Reloaded has been the most talked about online game this summer and its unprecedented growth in open beta players, it has become very attractive to large institutions in the game distribution business,” said GamersFirst.
“In just six weeks of open beta the game has attracted over 600,000 users and over a quarter million fans on the game’s fan page on Facebook. As a result of this success, we’ve been approached by retail partners to launch the title on retail shelves.
“Although we are evaluating our options, we have not picked a potential partner as of now. GamersFirst is also committed to the Free2Play model and any retail strategy will be guided by those principles.”
The publisher corrected a recent Facebook post written by CEO of distributor IGS Paul G Lombardi stating a retail version of the game would be released this holiday season for $29.99 USD.
GamersFirst took over All Points Bulletin from developer Realtime Worlds after its closure last September. The MMO initially shut down a month after its launch, then was relaunched by GamersFirst this year as a free-to-play title.
