NCsoft has announced that closed beta testing has begun for its highly anticipated online game, Tabula Rasa. The massively multiplayer online role-playing PC game places players in an epic sci-fi story set on alien worlds.
Tabula Rasa introduces several new features to the MMO genre, including character cloning, role-playing on the battlefield and a mystical Logos language.
“This is an exciting time for the Tabula Rasa team,” says Richard Garriott, executive producer at NCsoft and the Austin, Texas-based Destination Games development team. “With closed beta testing now in progress, we’re excited to hear more what our players think. With fast-action and tactical combat in an RPG setting, a deep and interesting fictional universe, and many feature innovations, we think we’ve created a game that represents the next generation of MMO games and will revolutionize the way people play online games.“
Garriot is best known as the creator of the Ultima game series, including Ultima Online.
