Promising In Development MMO's

The MMO industry is really booming this year and major projects are popping up everywhere. The online worlds we play today are completely outmatched by the new and innovative MMOs of tomorrow. And the best part is, tomorrow isn't so far off...



All Points Bulletin (APB)

APB is part of the growing numbers of MMOFPS's. APB is basically a massive game of cop and robbers where you choose to live a life of law or crime. From what we have seen so far, the gameplay is very fast paced and full of action. One second you will be robbing a bank with your comrades at your side and next you'll be chasing criminals through busy streets in a tricked out police car. The game is set to release later this year for PC and Xbox 360.



The Secret World

Little is known about Fun Com's latest MMO, but what we have seen thus far is truely amazing. The game takes place on Earth in real world locations during an apocalypse. It also features many elements of mythology and from the CG trailers they've sent out thus far, we know there will be magic as well as guns and blades. The few screenshots show off some amazing visuals and detailed models. We hope to see more of this throughout 2010.




Project V13

Finally after Bethesda won their court case with Interplay, the Fallout MMO continues. Very little info has been released about this rising title, but we do know it won't be coming out as soon as we hoped. Bethesda already has their hands full with the new Fallout: New Vegas, but knowing them, they have put out major games pretty quickly in the past. Project V13, as it is titled, will hopefully encompass all the greatness of the Fallout series into one amazing MMO. Stay tuned for more post apocalyptic awesomeness.



Guild Wars 2
The sequel to NC Soft's widely popular MMO has finally come to light. Guild Wars 2 takes the original Guild Wars world 100 years in the future with some amazing new graphics and features. Two trailers have been released so far showing basic gameplay and we have our fingers crossed for a beta test this year. It will feature new persistent zones where you can group up and fight with large groups of people as well as some new technology like guns and robot companions. The game is already set to release in 2011 and hopes to bring a massive amount of gameplay to its millions of fans.


There are many more major MMOs coming out soon, but we can only take about so many. These few are just the most major titles in development for 2010-2011.

The New MMOverdose

MMOverdose was going to be an extremely active 2d Indie MMO Blog, but it really failed due to the lack of games coming out right now. So I'm thinking of returning to the site's original idea, rating any and all MMO's.

This will allow the site to have much more content as the MMO industry is booming and more and more epic online games are coming out. I will now be giving reviews on the top MMO's currently out, posting info on upcoming new MMO's, and having contests with prizes.

Here is a list of the current MMO's I am hoping to review soon:

• Aion: Tower of Eternity
• Allods
• Champions Online
• Global Agenda
• Fallen Earth
• Huxley
• Warhammer Online

Reviews coming soon, spread the news of the new MMOverdose!

The Polls Are In!

Congratulations Tale of Wonder, you are our first Contest Winner. Your game is now displayed on the right hand side as well as your website.

Now incoming viewers will see your game quickly and may even join your community. More contests are coming soon including Best Game Engine and Best New Features.

Stay tuned...

Promising New Games

There are a lot of games in development out there that really deserve to be looked at, I really hope some of these can go all the way to a release and this post is dedicated to telling them they're doing an awesome job so far. Here's a list of games that may be receiving 9/10 or above here in the future:









Oh Punika, always trying something new, but keeping this nice, simple, and cute. Tales of Wonder is his latest game and probably the most promising. This traditional exploring, killing, and dungeon running MMO is just great and Punika confirms: "its not far away from open alpha."

Just cause I don't have a catchy banner for this game doesn't mean it's not original. Lostica is an amazing 2d side scrolling MMORPG with tons of great features. This is a really really great idea, for as I believe, this is the first game on Eclipse Engine has made this great breakthrough to side scrolling gameplay. The game is not ready yet, but beta is coming soon. Stay up to date on this game, because you can't miss that beta.

Think of Arkland as the perfect example of a 10/10 2d MMORPG. This game has tons of great features including a custom built engine that allows jumping, awesome effects, and some great great graphics. The games art style is the best part I think. It looks like perfect a mix of realistic and cartoon graphics. I haven't got my hands on a release date for it yet, but I don't believe it will be any time soon due to the heavy development it is under.

This game doesn't have a website, but still check out it's topic on Eclipse at: TouchofDeathForums.com



All in all, check out these games and prepare for tests in the future. Also expect to see these reviewed on MMOverdose once they come out soon.
