XBLA's Happy Wars Will Be Free To Xbox Live Gold Members
Happy Wars, the Xbox Live Arcade online brawler, will be free to download for Xbox Live Gold members.
We saw the game at E3 this year, but this is the first we have heard about its non-existent price tag. It sounds like players will be able to buy custom items for their online avatar, which is presumably how the game hopes to make its money. Along with up to 15 versus 15 online battles, there is also a single-player campaign.
Happy Wars is scheduled for release this year. The free version of the game will only be available to Xbox Live Gold members. It's unclear how much the game will cost for Silver members.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
