Exciting news - Life is Feudal: MMO is making its return on Steam soon! This re-release comes as part of an agreement with BitBox, the original game developers, and sees LTG publishing the game in partnership with Lunate studio.
Since its relaunch on the ltg.com platform in May 2023, the game has seen over 30 updates, introducing enhancements to game mechanics, professions, and the redesign of more than 150 items, along with the squashing of numerous bugs. The LTG team is committed to not only refining the current iteration but also has expansive visions for the game's future development.
A significant update in the new version is the introduction of a game subscription model. Our goal? To level the playing field, ensuring success is dictated by skill and strategy, not by in-game purchases. Thus, we've instituted a subscription service while eliminating any store purchases that could skew game balance.
Life is Feudal: MMO veterans from the previous version of the game will have the opportunity to convert their prior expenses into LiF Coins, redeemable for game subscriptions. Moreover, veterans will be greeted with a bonus - 30 days of free trial. Newcomers aren't left out either, receiving a welcome bonus of 7 days of free trial. And for those currently playing via ltg.com? They, too, will enjoy 7 days of free subscription. We’re ensuring rewards all around!
