    [​IMG]This is pure speculation of course, but in a press release issued by Interplay it was announced that Interplay and Masthead Studios have joined forces to develop a Massively Multiplayer Online Game codenamed: "Project V:13." If you remember the terms of the licensing deal Interplay made when they sold Fallout to Bethesda, it stated that they retained the rights to publish an MMOG set in the Fallout universe.

    BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., April 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Interplay Entertainment Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: IPLY - News) announced today that the company has signed a binding letter of intent with Masthead Studios to fund the development of a Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG), code named "Project: V13."

    The game has been in design and development at Interplay since November 2007. Masthead and Interplay teams will work together under the direction and control of Interplay to complete development of the project.

    As a part of the agreement, the game will utilize Masthead's proprietary tools and MMOG technology developed for Masthead's "Earthrise" project.

    Commenting on the announcement, Interplay Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Herve Caen said, "We are looking forward to turning the vision of our game designers into a compelling online gaming experience. The planning and design completed for Project: V13 thus far, combined with Masthead's resources, tools, and growing team of dedicated MMOG developers, will bring this unique game to reality."

    Masthead Studios President Atanas Atanasov said, "This arrangement is ideal because it leverages the technology our professionals have specifically built for advanced Massively Multiplayer Online Games into what we expect will be a groundbreaking Interplay gaming title."

    Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

    There's been rumours about this for a couple of years now and Interplay (well, Herve Caen) did their (his?) best to fan the fires at one point. Considering that very few MMOs are managing to stay alive and compete with WoW, I wonder how this one will manage to avoid the fate of Hellgate: London, Tabula Rasa and the others.

    I don't think a Fallout MMO would be a success, but then that may just be the skeptic in me. :skeptic:

    It's hard to make any MMO a success, they needed to get into the MMO game like 5 years ago at least. If they hope to succeed they are going to need to deliver something seriously revolutionary. They don't have to get the numbers that WoW has, they just need to be able to make money and sustain a regular playerbase.
