Some of you may remember that over a year ago GarageGames and its InstantAction.com business announced that they had purchased the Tribes IP rights. They also announced plans to offer the original Starsiege: Tribes multiplayer shooter as a free game via the InstantAction.com browser site. They even showed a beta of the browser version running at PAX last September.

Since then, however, there's been little news on the progress of bringing the InstantAction.com version of Tribes to the public. In a recent video blog on the InstantAction.com blog site, reps from the company state," . . . we absolutely want to do these things but we have to take care of ourselves (InstantAction) first)." InstantAction.com is still in transition as of the time of this post; the main site is still down as they move to a streaming game business model. However the the video blog gave no clear idea of when InstantAction.com will be back in operation, nor when the promised Tribes release will take place.
