New Texas developer signs a deal with NCSoft to produce a new MMO...
In a joint statement NCSoft and new development outfit Spacetime Studios have announced a deal that will see the Austin company create a new MMO for the Guild Wars and City of Heroes publisher.
Staffed by a core team of veterans whose credits include Wing Commander and the MMO Star Wars Galaxies, Spacetime's new title is yet to be disclosed but given the team's sci-fi background, an MMO based in the genre is perhaps most likely.
"Having the Spacetime team on board is a great step forward for NCsoft," said Robert Garriott, CEO of NCsoft North America. "This group has a proven track record in creating games in the space genre. They've also been successful in developing massively multiplayer games and we believe that's a winning combination and a perfect fit for the NCsoft lineup of products."
"Spacetime and NCsoft is a great match," said Gary Gattis, Spacetime Studios co-founder. "They are a top-notch publisher that really cares about their developers and the quality of their games. NCsoft has shown us strong support and a willingness to provide a great balance of direction and freedom to develop a game that we have been dreaming of doing for years."
