Red 5 Studios is going to show a new version of its upcoming free-to-play MMOFPS Firefall, at this year’s Gamescom in Cologne, Germany. Fueled by community feedback gathered over the course of the beta, the Tribe has been tirelessly refining and tweaking the update to ensure it will be ready for European fans.

Among new features being shown at Gamescom as part of Firefall’s upcoming update are new tier-based character progression, a new resource mining and crafting system, the new Garage and customizable loadout system, the ground-breaking Firefall eSports toolkit, and the latest open world and PvP content that includes new areas and dynamic events. These, along with the launch of the EU servers, promise a whole new gaming experience to European fans. Gamescom visitors are invited to come by the Red 5 Studios booth for a first-hand look at the game in action, August 16-19 at the Koelnmesse.

As an additional special offering for the European eSports community, Red 5 has partnered with the Electronic Sports League to host the first-ever European Firefall beta tournament. All clans are invited to participate in the tournament for the chance to win up to 10k Euros in prize money. Qualifiers will begin Thursday, August 16th, with the finals being held on Saturday, August 18th on the ESL stage.
