EA and Koei Tecmo‘s monster hunting game Wild Hearts will have no microtransactions and free post-launch content, it’s been claimed.

The game’s executive producer Lewis Harvey was taking part in a Reddit AMA session when he was asked what players could expect in terms of in-game monetisation.

“All post-launch contents will be free, including new Kemono and more,” he replied, adding: “We don’t have any plans to feature microtransactions.”

Kemono are the game’s large monsters, which players hunt either alone or with up to two other players in co-op.

Considering this is scumbag EA - this is surprising to hear. We will see if they live up to their word. Looking forward to trying this one out.

I am absolutely shocked. EA, you guys are starting to get me on your side again. Though you still have a few ways to go to get me back. Don't fuck it up.

They have this part right but they need to have the gameplay loop perfect to really grab people initially.

I usually don't support EA but if they do something that is clearly positive and doesn't have those typical scummy elements, then I will try to support.
