Computer & Video Games reports that John Romero has resurfaced, as the designer is working on a new massively multiplayer game. Romero didn't reveal the title of the game or the name of the company, but did say this

"This is not a typical games company and we're not making typical games". According to Romero (who says he loves MMOs), the game he's working on is "very different from any other MMO for some special reasons." Precisely what those special reasons are, he wouldn't elaborate. He did, however, admit that funding for the project is lurking in the many millions of dollars bracket. "It's a lot of money, this is the most money I've ever spent on a game - in Gauntlet it was like $10 million, but this is much more," Romero revealed.
