Now that the beta tests are almost over, Turbine announced that Infinite Crisis will officially launch on PC later this month.
Infinite Crisis will launch on March 26th. On that same day, the game will debut through Steam.  Players who download the game through Steam will be able to take advantage of unspecified “launch specials” on the 26th.
“For you, our existing testers, there won’t be a significant amount of change. You’ll still log into the game with your existing WBID and your account will remain the same as it’s always been. We will continue to update the game with new features, Champions, Costumes, optimizations, and plenty more.”
The developers aren’t planning any additional account wipes. Any Champions, Merit, and other progress players unlock will remain on their account.
Players who play the game through Steam will need to uninstall their current copy of the game and then re-download it. Through Stream, players will also have access to the Trading Cards feature.
“At launch we’ll be supporting the Steam Overlay, the ability to import your Steam friends who play Infinite Crisis straight on to your Infinite Crisis friends list, and we’ll have a set of Infinite Crisis Steam Trading Cards. Supporting Steam Overlay also means that you’ll be able to use Steam Voice Chat with your friends. We’ll also have the Steam Community Hub, which means you’ll be able to share screenshots, videos, guides, and more with other community members on Steam.”
Turbine plans to to give out the Flashpoint costume for Doomsday to current beta testers. Players who have an active beta account as of March 25th should receive the costume a day or two later. Since the game’s in an open beta, new players could create an account now in order to get the gift.
“This costume will be exclusive to you as our thanks for participating in our Beta program. Flashpoint Doomsday will never be sold in the store at a later date, or offered to players who did not participate in our Beta program. Enjoy! (And remember, in order to use costume, you’ll need to unlock Doomsday for free on your account by playing through our tutorials!)”
