It's been a long road for free MMO Firefall from Red 5 Studios, but the game finally has a release date.

The PC title launches on July 29 through Steam and at the game's official site.

Firefall is set on an Earth transformed by an event called The Melding, which is just a prelude to an invasion by The Chosen. The game contains campaign missions, dynamic events, a PVP continent, and developer Red 5 Studios is promising a sizable update at launch.

Here are our impressions of the game from last year. The game has changed since then, so if you're interested, feel free to check it out for yourself via the free open beta.
