Tribes: Ascend GOTYE Launches This Week, Machinima Trailer

Tribes: Ascend Game of The Year Edition will Launch on February 15, which will unlock all classes, weapons and perks with a single-purchase.

With this edition, players can get access to over 100 weapons, all 9 classes, and all 21 perks. The Tribes: Ascend GotY Edition includes weapon and perk DLC from all ten previous expansions, as well as the new Shocklance weapon.

If you’ve been enjoying T:A as an F2P game, don’t worry. “Nothing changes for players that are enjoying the game with the free-to-play model,” says Todd Harris, Hi-Rez Chief Operating Officer. “But we now also offer an additional single-purchase option to unlock every weapon in the game.”

The upcoming patch includes six new maps (three CTF/Blitz and three Arena maps), the new Shocklance weapon, and two new cosmetic skins.

Check out the machinima trailer released alongside this announcement — it’s impressive, given everything that happens in it can happen in-game:

I laughed at the subtle flirtatious undertones of the “Hi” exchanged at 1:25.

The GotY Edition will be available at a launch discount price of $29.99 at www.tribesascend.com and on Steam. Existing Tribes VIPs can purchase the GoTY Edition for $19.99 at www.tribesascend.com.
