In a refreshing change from the quickly becoming overpopulated Chinese Mythology free-to-play MMORPG space, the gPotato.eu team is proud to announce the official opening and release of the newest title in their stables: Street Gears.

Street Gears is a free-to-play inline skating MMORPG where players can take on the persona of a hard core inline skater fond of freedom and pure action sport.  Hailing from Park Town, skaters of any level can ride freely across the city and engage in a wide variety of challenges including speed based races on a number of tracks, team tournaments, and naturally, busting out fresh moves rakes in big points.  Over 50,000 open-beta testers have put the title through it’s paces, with a number of changes and upgrades being made to the game.

To celebrate the release, Street Gears is now packed with even more trickery and polyurethane shredding goodness.  A new race mode, additional quests, and an additional new license, the Pro II, have been added, as well as the new Enberton track, which seeks to put players’ reflexes to the ultimate test.  Street Gears players are now also able to create a second character, including the newly introduced rider named Rush, an ex-soldier who’s a heart core inline skater at heart.  Additionally, players may now enjoy Street Gears via any USB pad device, as gPotato has upgraded the controller support features.

And it’s not just all about the new games features that have been introduced, as Street Gears has a number of in-game activities currently running and upcoming.  The Asian Love Festival which kicked off on February 12th, is accented with a number of multicolored lanterns decorating the gamescape.  A week long team tournament that culminates on the 12th of March will offer the winners a chance to have their team logo displayed on the X-Games stadium half-pipe, along with a host of other outstanding prizes.

If you’ve had enough of this winter, perhaps it’s time to grab your inlines and make your way to the Park Town skate park.  Surely, a nice 720 frontside would put a smile on anyone’s face.  Head on over to Street Gears at gPotato.eu for more fast and furious, free-to-play fun.
