Trans Galactic Tournament brings free-to-play MOBA combat to the PS4

The free-to-play MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) model is just about everywhere — and it will soon be on the PlayStation 4.

Trans Galactic Tournament is an indie game from publisher Kiz Studios and developer Hibernum Creations that debuts this year on the PS4 as a downloadable game. And it’s about time that the multiplayer online battle arena genre — made famous by Riot Games’ League of Legends on the PC — migrates to the PlayStation 4. Sony’s box has no free-to-play MOBAs, and Trans Galactic Tournament hopes to set itself apart from the crowd that are coming (and those already on the PC) with speedier gameplay and a low learning curve. I tried it at this week’s PlayStation’s event in San Mateo, Calif.
