Sci-fi MMO WildStar will launch worldwide on June 3, NCSoft has announced.
First revealed in 2011, the online PC adventure sees players jetting off to the planet Nexus where they’ll be able to explore the “wondrous” alien world, customise their house and engage in PvP battles, with over 1.4m people having already signed up for the beta.
“We’re stoked to launch WildStar”, said executive producer Jeremy Gaffney. “We’re looking forward to seeing the first players begin their journey on the unexplored planet of Nexus. Both noobs and MMO vets will have a blast with our fast-paced combat, while experienced guilds and groups will build complete battle-fortresses using our Warplot system and tackle some truly epic raids.”
WildStar will be available in two editions: the £34.99 Standard Edition containing 30 days of play time and an Eldan-themed Housing Decor item, and the £59.99 Deluxe Edition containing an additional Eldan Hoverboard, unique costume, player title and dye set.
It’ll also be available to play via multiple models, with players able to either purchase a monthly subscription for £8.99/month, or consume ‘C.R.E.D.D.’, an item that can be bought directly from the game’s website or from other players via an in-game currency.
C.R.E.D.D. will be available for £11.99 or for a fluctuating price based on the trade rate of individual realms’ Commodities Exchange. The experience does not differ depending on what model you choose.
“We’ve aimed for fun and unique content for MMO gamers of all stripes from level one to level cap and beyond,” added Gaffney. “WildStar is a brand new IP and new universe that has attracted more than 1.4 million beta signups already, so it seems like other gamers are also eager for something new and different in the MMO space.”
