Massively has details on
Civilization Online, a planned MMO based on
the strategy series they
wrote of late last year as a project coming to Asian markets, a few of years
after
rumors that a similar game
was cancelled by 2K Games. Word is this will not be a strategy game like the
solo installments in the series, but will rather be a sandbox MMORPG that will
allow players to participate in the construction of the world in a hands-on way.
There's also a write-up on the game on
MMORPG.com (thanks
VG247) saying the game is still only slated for release in Korea, but they
are seeking a western publisher, which is a bit of a head-scratcher since they
also have a
Civilization
Online Debut Trailer that dawns with the 2K Games logo.
