Fallout Online, the MMO based in the Fallout universe is scheduled for release in the second half of 2012, Interplay president Eric Caen has told Edge magazine.
Asked if the game is definitely in development, Caen said: “I can’t say too much. What I can say is that everyone who is registered is getting a newsletter every five or six weeks. The content is not a typical newsletter with a lot of technical information; it’s letters from NPCs inside the game, writing to other NPCs about what they’re experiencing. We’re giving a lot of hints about the future of the game.”
Caen added that a beta is scheduled for 2012, with the “commercial launch in the second half of 2012”.
The Interplay president also revealed that there is a team of 90 people working on the game, and that it has been in a playable state as far back as January 2009.
Bethesda’s revival of the Fallout franchise means there are millions of gamers eager to see what Interplay does with its online instalment.
In 2012 the game’s biggest rival will almost certainly be Blizzard’s World of Warcraft, but EA’s Star Wars: The Old Republic and NCsoft’s Guild Wars 2 might also have gained a foothold.
