Game fans can expect a completely new MMOG experience with Otherland. Based on the Unreal Engine 3, Otherland will set new technical standards for the MMOG genre. 'Unreal Engine 3 is the basis for our client side game and graphics engine. To push it over the top our developers have also made countless additions to ensure outstanding graphics quality over huge environments. At the same time our artists and engineers are exploring the boundaries of Unreal Engine 3 to create fresh new visual styles for the game. At Real U we are developing completely new architecture that allows us to build a groundbreaking MMO game with Unreal Engine 3 at its core,' says Andrew Carter, CEO RealU.
MMO fans can also expect a fascinating gameplay experience. Based on the globally successful novels, the Otherland gameplay is distinguished by a unique narrative structure. Rather than retelling the story, players will experience their own individual stories within the Otherland universe and will encounter many of the familiar characters from the books. The game world will change dynamically around them during the course of the game.
Otherland is a free to play fantasy-SciFi action MMORPG based on the novels written by Tad Williams. In it, you embark on an adventure spanning multiple universes throughout various types of worlds. Join the PVP fray or relax and battle the hordes of PVE enemies that are bound to get in your way.
In honor of the Otherland IP's 21st anniversary, a number of Otherland MMO announcements are planned over the next few weeks.
They should just remake the game in Unreal Engine 4. So much wasted potential with this IP.
The Otherland free-to-play open beta test is announced with dates, community events and a brief on what's been added to the multiverse MMO.
I don't know about the game but the books were fantastic. I hope they can pull it off.
