The Early Access of 'Second Wave' Goes Free-to-Play! ~ Dive Right In with the "Demo Version" of the Early Access!

Challengers Games :

Second Wave is a team-based shooter that allows players to take on the role of a hero set on the continent of Armantia. The Early Access for Second Wave began on May 31st, 2024, originally with a buy-to-play requirement for access. After much discussion and listening to feedback from the community, the studio has issued an official apology to all players and has announced that the game's Early Access will be free-to-play.
 

Due to Steam's restrictions, the studio was unable to convert the entire game from Buy to Play to Free to Play and has found an alternative solution for all players. Starting today, all players who are interested in Second Wave will be offered the game through a "demo" version for free - which will provide the full experience of the game and connect with all players from the normal "official" version.
 

Furthermore, the studio has announced that all players who have previously purchased Second Wave will receive 10,000 Crystals ($100 USD value) as a token of appreciation. This includes new players who purchase the game before the "official" version goes free-to-play.
 

To commemorate the launch of the free-to-play Early Access, the game will continue to offer its ongoing event, rewarding players with up to 2,800 Crystals ($30 USD value). The event will be part of the regular $30 version of the game and will not be offered to free players.
 

The official version of Second Wave will remain available for the remainder of the month, offering the game for $30 USD if players choose to purchase it as a form of support.
