Hey, we all love a bit of free and so it’s with great excitement that we can bring you the news that the PC action MMO is on its way to our consoles.
Coming to Xbox One and PS4 hopefully in Q2 2015 the guys at Deep Silver, Reloaded Games and The Workshop Entertainment are working on turning APB Reloaded into a game fit for console.
Releasing as a free to play title, all you’ll need is an Xbox Live Gold subscription to get involved. Yes, there will be in-game purchases for new gear, items and vehicles but hey, we can’t have everything free can we!?
APB Reloaded will throw you into the near-future cityscape of San Paro where you’ll get the chance to pick one of two factions: “Enforcer,” to uphold the city’s martial law, or “Criminal” to cause maximum mayhem across the city. With challenging and immersive gameplay, Reloaded features one of the best and most extensive character and vehicle customization systems available in any modern MMO. Driven by PvP experiences where up to 100 customized players (up to 50 vs. 50) can participate in real time missions across San Paro, we’re looking forward to seeing how the guys at the various development companies bring it across to console.
Klemens Kundratitz, CEO of Deep Silver/Koch Media GmbH, says: “APB Reloaded has become a phenomenon on the PC with a very passionate and faithful community. We are really thrilled to help Reloaded Games and The Workshop bring this fantastic world to life on the new generation consoles.”
Bjorn Book-Larsson, CEO of Reloaded Games, says: “Over the past year it has been great working with Deep Silver and their experienced publishing teams from the Saints Row, Homefront and Dead Island franchises, as well as with the veteran development team at The Workshop, led by great members of the original Tony Hawk, Call of Duty 3, Borderlands 2: “Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage” and The Evil Within teams, and getting their deep insight into how we can best transform APB Reloaded into a great console experience.”
Peter Akemann, CEO of The Workshop, says: “On a technical note, because APB is such a technically complex game, featuring thousands of destructible objects and heavily customized players and vehicles in every scene, we are thrilled to help make APB a reality on these brand new high performance hardware platforms.”
