Fractured Online Offers Another Free Trial Alongside Its First Major Post Launch Update

Dynamight Studios is giving everyone another limited-time all-access pass to Fractured Online with another free-play promotional event starting this weekend. Unlike July’s week-long trial which was only open to groups and guilds, this weekend’s free-play event will be open to anyone who wants to take the sandbox MMORPG for a spin. It will also run two days longer than the previous free-play event.

“The Free Week will start on Friday, August 16 at 1pm UTC,” the studio announced. “Everyone will be able to play by signing up here on fracturedmmo.com and downloading our standalone launcher. The event will end on Sunday, August 25 at 8am UTC. That’s more than 9 days of free play! After that, everyone who wants to continue playing will be able to buy the game on Steam or through our store.”

The latest free trial will also coincide with Fractured Online’s first major content update since it’s full launch in July. The update promises plenty of new gameplay features and content for both existing players to enjoy and free trial players to try out, including new creatures to summon, new emotes, and the new Adventurer Tasks daily quest system.

“Adventurer Tasks are a system akin to the ‘daily quests’ found in many MMOs but more respectful of your time, since they can be accumulated so they don’t ‘force’ you to login every day,” Dynamight explains. “In this first iteration, Adventurer Tasks consist of missions that ask you to defeat monsters, from the weak Goblins to the mighty Jotunns. Each quest can be completed by hunting in a specific area of a continent, and can come in 5 difficulty levels. The maximum difficulty can only be obtained by rerolling. The harder the quest, the better the rewards!”
