Ashes of Creations will not be a free game, as it is a subscription title that players will need to pay monthly to play. The current subscription price is $14,99, and the price will also vary by player region.
However, you won't need to pay any subscription if you have access to the beta or alpha version which should go live in the coming months and weeks before the release.
The first alpha, called alpha one, will go live on July 14 and you can access it via a giveaway on the site or by pre-ordering the game.
During this alpha, players will be able to explore the game world, complete quests, and experience some of the many systems the game has to offer, including dungeons and crafting.
That being said, Alpha One will start on the 14th and will continue until the 13th of next month in August, and after that you will have to wait for the next early access for the game, which will be Alpha Two. After Alpha two will come Beta one and two, which don't have official dates yet but will likely be announced closer to release.
