Star Vault Reveals UE3-powered MMO Mortal Online

38
Developer Star Vault has announced Mortal Online (PC), a fantasy-themed MMO powered by Epic's Unreal Engine 3, and released some concept art and a trailer of the title.

Controlled from a first-person perspective, Mortal focuses on player-versus-player combat and ditches the genre's traditional leveling system. Instead, players will gain new skills by advancing along a skill tree, with some skills learned passively over time and some of requiring experience to earn.

Scheduled for a summer 2009 release, the title has been in development since early 2002, though Star Vault project says it "really took off" in 2005. A beta program is expected as launch approaches, though no further details are available.

      You probably won't see hate as much as sheer apathy at yet another mindless MMO on the horizon. But hey, everyone wants to cash in, right??? ;)
