Lineage, City of Heroes and Guild Wars publisher is staying hush hush about its upcoming project. Rumors started circulating last week when it was noticed that NCsoft Europe was hiring and had put a buncha concept art on its website. As MMO site Massively points out, the concept art has a mystical-meet-militaristic vibe to it. NCsoft Europe is looking for a bunch of new recruits, so this could be part of the company's Sony deal to bring online games to the PS3 and the PSP. When asked what it was up to, NCsoft Europe replied, "No comment." Figures.

CONFIRMED! NCsoft is working on a Rachael Ray cooking simulator MMORPG to rival the release of "Iron Chef"!
I'm in the BETA, it RoX!
Well everybody knows they're up to Guild Wars 2, so I guess idunno...
Probably creating a game no one will play 2 months after its' release. ZING!
GW2 for both PC and PS3, maybe? Maybe I'd get back into GW then. The model is great and other studios should follow it. Of course, Blizzard is making Olympic-Pools of money off WoW, so hard to say that model doesn't work too...
First thing that shot into my mushy head junk was "Starship Troopers Online". Now I really, really want it to be that.
It probably wont, but oh my god the stains my pants will have if it is.
Then I looked at the rest of the concept art and died a little inside.
*tears*
@Malmer:
@MokTaskmaster:
NC Soft is not developing GW2 - ArenaNet is. NC Soft publishes Guild Wars, ArenaNet (their subsidiary) develops it. NC Soft also has their own development groups completely separate from ArenaNet.
I'd say with 100% certainty that this project is NOT GW2, especially if it's being developed in Europe.
@-EDGE-:
It's set to come out first on the Intellevision, and then will release 12-14 months later on the ps3, xbox 360, and gameboy advance. This news comes from an undisclosed meeting from an anonymous company president.
Looks like they are trying to develop something that Tabula Rasa should have been.
Something PSP-Slim Exclusive I'd bet
Don't forget Tabula Shit Rasa! You can't forget Tabula God Awful Piece of Dogshit Rasa! Fascist Communist Satanist Bestiality Supporting Rasa!
