Fallen Earth is a free-to-play MMO developed by Reloaded Productions (formerly by North Carolina-based Icarus Studios and Fallen Earth). The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic wasteland located around the American Grand Canyon. Fallen Earth's gameplay features FPS/RPG hybridization, first-person/third person views, hundreds of items, including improvised equipment and weapons, a variety of functional vehicles, a real-time, in-depth crafting system (which includes vehicles), various skills and abilities, factions and tactical PvP, all existing within 1000 square kilometers of usable terrain based on real-world topographical maps of the area.
The game was released on September 22, 2009 with pre-orders from Direct2Drive, Steam and the official website granting early access from September 9, 2009.
On June 15, 2011, it was announced that GamersFirst had purchased the intellectual property of the game and that the game would be going "free to play." On August 1, the transition was implemented.
On July 30, 2011 the Icarus accounts were merged with GamersFirst accounts, a process which had been scheduled for August 1. Players now log into the game using GamersFirst details rather than their old Icarus account details. At this point, the game was still subscription based; new GamersFirst players were automatically put into 14 day free trials. The game went "Free to Play" on 13 October 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words fallen and/or earth:
“Every new stroke of civilization has cost the lives of countless brave men, who have fallen defeated by the “dragon,” in their efforts to win the apples of the Hesperides, or the fleece of gold. Fallen in their efforts to overcome the old, half sordid savagery of the lower stages of creation, and win the next stage.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Since man’s highest mission on earth is to spiritualize everything, it is his excrement in particular that needs it most.”
—Salvador Dali (1904–1989)
