Fallen Earth to drop in September

Level-free, classless, post-apocalyptic MMO.

Fallen Earth (the company) has announced that Fallen Earth (the game) will launch on 9th September.

This is the post-apocalyptic MMO that bravely ditches levels and classes in favour of a skill and attribute-based advancement. The world, in Fallen Earth's words, is "gritty and challenging".

And it will cost; although how much is still undecided.

We had a look at Fallen Earth three months ago, in April. How far the game has come since then we don't know, but the polish needed was considerable. There's time, and we hope Fallen Earth uses it to deliver what could be a very refreshing break from the norm.
