Forge is an arena based combat game brought to us by indie developer Dark Vale, and it hasn’t been performing so well on the revenue side of things. In order to keep the servers online and roll out more content, Dark Vale has announced that the game will be heading free to play.

As you all know, we’re an Indie developer and are able to continue to support the game with new features from the sales of Forge every month. In order to continue to do this we must change our business plan in order to get more players playing Forge so it’s fun for everyone and to continue funding development. This is why Forge must go F2P.

The good news is that the Dark Vale will be avoiding pay to win at all costs, offering initially just cosmetic armor sets and experience boosters, with items that would normally take a long time to unlock costing more than others. Future cash shop offerings may include equipment customization among other items.
