- Midair soars out of early access, becoming F2P - 4 May 2018
The high-flying first-person shooter action of the Tribes games had returned in a roundabout way with the full launch of Midair , a game oh so very heavily inspired by the classics. Strap on a jetpack, skim across big rolling levels, raid the enemy base while defending your own, shoot baddies, and generally Tribes it right up. Sure, it doesn’t have the Tribes name but mate come on. Crowdfunded in 2016 and launched into early access in 2017, as of yesterday it’s properly super really out. Midair cost money during early access but, as was always the plan, it’s now free-to-play. (more…)

Midair is a 16v16 FPS where everyone has a jetpack to blast and a base to defend, and it fully embraces the hill-hopping 'skiing' that made games like Tribes: Ascend so fun. It's been in Early Access since August 2017, but as developer Archetype announced, today it's officially launching on Steam as a free-to-play game.  As we learned when we spoke to Archetype CEO Chris Matthews at PAX West 2017, Midair seeks to improve on Tribes' monetization model, which left some players feeling cold. "We want players to be able to jump in and have fun without needing to pay money to get the best weapons or abilities," its Steam page reads. "For free-to-play users, we will have a progression system that does require the user to move their way up a progression ladder and unlock items related to gameplay." Archetype also offers a $30 'Progression Pass' which unl…
