There is a free battle royale game again on Xbox One. In The Darwin Project, you have few players and a showmaster, as well as a deadly environment.
Battle Royale addition on Xbox: The Darwin Project is another battle royale game. However, unlike PUBG or Fortnite, only a handful of players fight for the final victory. There is a kind of showmaster who can randomly troll or buff players.
Unlike Fortnite and co: Additionally, you fight with primitive weapons like bows and must protect yourself against the cold in the snowy wilderness. Also, you leave traces that your enemies can use to track you down. The Darwin Project therefore approaches the well-known battle royale theme in a different way.
First Buy-2-Play, now Free-2-Play
Play for free! The Darwin Project was initially only available to paying customers on Xbox One. Through Microsoft’s “Game Preview Program”, you could play it earlier if you purchased access. The business model has now been switched to Free-2-Play. This way, the developers want to attract more players to the servers.
The same goes for PC – there, The Darwin Project is also free2play. However, crossplay between PC and Xbox One is not yet planned. PC players would have a significant advantage with the mouse, especially when it comes to shooting arrows.
Compensation for previous buyers
What if I already paid? Those who have already spent money on the early access of Darwin Project do not have to worry. With the Free-2-Play transition, you will receive proper compensation.
What do I get as a bonus? The bonuses for previous buyers are the contents of a Founder Pack. This includes a range of special, customizable cosmetic items. What exactly you will receive can be seen in the image here. Like Fortnite, The Darwin Project aims to finance itself via a cash shop. However, you can only purchase cosmetic items there. Gameplay advantages are off-limits!
