Save the World will be free to play next month. Whether you’ve been playing Save the World from the beginning or have never played, team up to earn in-game rewards by pre-registering for the free-to-play launch:

Snowstrike Hero, the final pre-registration reward, has these Perks:

  • Standard Perk: North Star

    • Throwing Stars will slow enemies for 4 seconds instead of dealing damage. Slowed-down enemies will explode for 167 base water damage if they receive melee damage or damage from another North Star explosion.

  • Commander Perk: North Star+

    • Throwing Stars will freeze enemies for 4 seconds instead of dealing damage. Frozen enemies will explode for 167 base water damage if they receive melee damage or damage from another North Star explosion.

Current players can still play in the meantime, and as a thank you for the last nine years of holding back the horde, will receive the following on April 16:

  • 1x Hero Supercharger – Promote a Hero beyond Level 50.

  • 1x Weapon Supercharger – Promote a weapon beyond Level 50.

  • 1x Trap Supercharger – Promote a Trap beyond Level 50.

  • 5x Survivor Supercharger – Promote Survivors beyond Level 50.

  • 1x Hero Recruitment Voucher – Recruit a Hero of your choice.

  • 1x Weapon Research Voucher – Unlock a weapon of your choice.

  • 10000 Gold – Spend in the Event Store (to be renamed “the Exchange”) for valuable items.

Founders will continue earning V-Bucks through Daily Quests, Mission Alerts, Storm Shield Defense Missions, and existing Challenges. If you’re new to Save the World, get up to speed with the help of STW veteran Beast:

i think those who bought the game deserve actual compensation, like being able to earn vbucks, or have acess to founder schematics, NOT these lame "thank you" rewards!!
