Heatwave Interactive announces they have acquired the intellectual property rights and all assets for Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising, the MMORPG that was in development at Perpetual Entertainment before it was put on "indefinite hold" in late 2007 prior to release (a postmortem is available discussing the project's demise at the time). Word is: "As part of the transaction with PlayGrid, Heatwave also obtained a source code license to the PlayGrid Platform, their online game publishing technology as well as acquiring two game development engines," with the announcement revealing the other game engine is the one Perpetual developed for the version of Star Trek Online they were developing before that project was moved to Cryptic Studios. A preliminary Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising Website is online, where you can sign up for email updates. There's no word on when they plan to launch the game, as they indicate they are now "incubating" the IP: "With a strong roadmap of titles and a talented development team, Heatwave Interactive is focused on incubating its diverse and marketable roster of intellectual properties that have cross-media entertainment potential."
