MMOs The final frontier...

By Cosmic Sentinel 1 Comments

I nearly called this blog "Nergasm", but I thought that was a little vulgar. Anyways, after Cryptic, the people behind City of Heroes, dropped their Marvel MMO, things went a little quiet. While I was looking forward to their Marvel efforts, I'm now happy that DCU Online will be getting the spotlight. I am also happy, because they have more time for working on this:

Yes, it's a Star Trek MMO! It was in development at another studio, but Cryptic have taken over and reannounced it. According to Cryptic Studios' executive producer Craig Zinkievich, the game takes place in 2409, about thirty years after Star Trek: Nemesis. This means that while events and characters from the shows may be referenced, you won't be experiencing them, but instead living your own adventure. As you gain ranks, you'll be able to access better ships and better upgrades for them, with which you'll be able to "seek out new life and new civilizations."

It all looks very interesting and Cryptic is a trusted name in MMOs. This could be where I go when I need to hang up my cape for a little while and beat up some Klingons instead.
