In terms of whether or not the game will be free at launch, you’ll be happy to learn that it will be.
The game will not cost a dime to jump into, and there’s already an extensive roadmap that provides a look at four different seasons planned for the game’s first year. As of now, however, there are no set dates for when these seasons will launch.
