Much the like the PC version, which has over 17m registered users, it will be free-to-play with mini-games and other ‘family friendly’ activities.
”Free Realms continues to break new ground in the gaming industry - it will be the first free-to-play MMO to hit any console, the first family-friendly MMO to hit any console, and the second MMO, after our recent release of DC Universe Online, to hit the PlayStation 3 to date,” said Sony Online Entertainment president, John Smedley.
”As the only online games publisher that creates accessible and diverse gameplay experiences for the full spectrum of gamers, we are committed to burgeoning innovation and growing the MMO genre by leaps and bounds, bringing in players of all ages.”
The PS3 version has streamlined interfaces so console gamers won’t feel burdened. It launches on PSN March 29th in the US with no European date given yet.
