”This game was my passion back when I was developing it with Realtime Worlds, and I’m extremely excited to be able to participate in fulfilling the long term vision for the title,” said Jones.
”After seeing what the team has done with the game thus far, I’m certain that APB Reloaded will become the title that truly breaks new ground for online game experiences, especially with transition to a free-to-play model.”
A.P.B. had experimented with a pay model that allowed gamers to choose either a monthly subscription or a finite number of hours per payment. The game had some gameplay issues, and despite mixed reviews, never caught on.
RealTime Worlds is best known for developing the first Crackdown game, while Jones worked on the original Grand Theft Auto.
