Details: 

  • Free to play for as long as you want.
  • Once you hit Level 15, you stop leveling up but can still keep playing.
  • To Unlock Level 25 cap, it will cost $4.99.
  • To remove all level caps, $19.99
  • Coop arena $9.99
  • Coop Adventure $11.99

Sounds like a pretty solid payment model for Sony. If you end up buying every mode, Sony gets $42 which is pretty damn good considering there is no retail share or distribution costs. For consumers, it's well ... free. Sony needs to do this for all their multiplayer games next gen from day 1. KillZone Shadow Falls f2p at launch with level caps. Do it!

Unlocking the level cap will allow you to continue building up your profile right from where the level 15 cap stops you. If you choose not unlock the level cap or purchase anything youll be missing out on a slew of cool in-game items and downloadable content we have made for the game to date. Heres a rundown of what you can unlock:



If youre really enjoying the UNCHARTED 3: Multiplayer Free to Play and are looking for the full UNCHARTED 3: Drakes Deception experience, the best deal is to pick up theUNCHARTED 3: Drakes Deception Game of the Year Edition from the in-game store, which also launches today.

 Every DLC drop will have a theme and well be unveiling that content here on the Naughty Dog Blog, over on the PlayStation Blog, and on our Free-to-Play webpage.

Patch 1.17 was released recently. It includes some big changes you can read about on the Naughty Dog Blog. For instance, weve added another tier to our Tournament. Its the Platinum level and we have some very cool permanent Platinum level prizes for people who achieve this prestigious level.

Add on pricing:

Quote:As you might expect, there are some restrictions. The competitive multiplayer is free up to Level 15; co-op modes arent included in the FTP client. However, Naughty Dog wants to give you options. If you want to raise the Level Cap to 25, itll cost you $4.99. If you want to remove the Level Cap restrictions, itll cost $19.99. If you want Co-op Arena, its $9.99. If you want Co-op Adventure, its $11.99. Naughty Dog

Sounds like you'd be better off just buying the game itself in that case. Letting in more people to play the multiplayer sounds good though. I wonder how the population's holding up. It was pretty fun at the time, maybe I'll come back to it.

lol What?

They are letting you play the game for free. Forever. You only have to pay more to unlock more items and weapons. Even then it's only $20. This is a fantastic business model for consumers. I dont ever play coop and single player of Call of Duty games but i am forced to spend $60 to play just the MP. If this catches on, MP only modes will start popping up everywhere for only $20-$40.

Nah Free to play is garbage. Seems ok till they start charging for more powerful weapons/perks then your free to play becomes pay to win. Besides you could probably find Uncharted 3 for $20 now anyways....

No way man, it's great they let you try the game before investing in it. Wish they had done this with BF3. I would have saved 8 bucks

It is if you bought the game :P This is a PSN download of just the multiplayer that anyone can play for free.

I agree with Solid, I think it's a great idea and would be an excellent thing to do for Killzone on the PS4 launch. I'm not a big fan of the series, something like this may get me into it.
