NetDragon announced a licensing agreement with EA on the development of the first 3D MMORPG based on the Dungeon Keeper franchise, including themes, characters and other game content, also giving it the exclusive license to operate and distribute Dungeon Keeper Online throughout the Greater China region, including Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau.
MMORPG.com's Garrett Fuller recently spoke with Dungeons and Dragons Online Executive Producer Fernando J. Paiz about the new Catacombs adventure pack.
NetDragon Websoft Inc., a China-based game developer, has teamed up with publisher Electronic Arts to develop a massively-multiplayer online game based on the beloved Dungeon Keeper franchise. Coined Dungeon Keeper Online, the MMO will be NetDragon's first MMORPG.
While many fans across the globe were hoping to get their hands on a new Dungeon Keeper game, Dungeon Keeper Online is only currently being developed for the Greater China region, which includes Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau. However, this does not rule out the possibility of a broader release for the MMO in the future. "Capitalizing our strength to create a strong gaming experience, powerful operating platform and unmatched expertise within China's online game market, we are confident that Dungeon Keeper Online will not only become successful in the Greater China region but also achieve remarkable results overseas," said Mr. Liu Dejian, Chairman and Executive Director of NetDragon in an official statement.
Booo!
I loved the Dungeon Keeper games! So awesome. I'd actually consider paying for this if they brought it stateside.
Bullfrog's gone man. Sad too, Bob Dole would consider buying this if it had anything to do with the original people who made the first two.
I loved Dungeon Keeper, still play the games form time to time, one of my favs.
I really hope they dont mess it up and hopefully it will get released worldwide.
WWTTTFFFFF!?
Seriously. A Dungeon Keeper game after a long time and it's a China only MMO!? WTF EA?
