The Farlight 84 Philippines Summit showcased a vision for the future, including new maps, various strategies to elevate the game’s esports scene, and the introduction of a Filipino hero.
Farlight 84 has made a commitment of US$20 million over the course of five years, setting the bar for esports in the Philippines. This significant financial backing will be allocated through the Farlight Philippines Championship (FPC), a tournament series that welcomes participants of all skill levels. Players now have the opportunity to compete for a prize pool of US$1 million, with chances to earn cash rewards through various tournaments planned.
Farlight Games is dedicated to providing updates with fresh heroes on a monthly basis as well as introducing new maps, weapons, game modes, and vehicles every six months.
In addition to these game-related improvements, Farlight is on the brink of being available on the Nintendo Switch, and also plans to expand into the PlayStation and Xbox platforms in the upcoming year.
