During Colony Studios' press release yesterday, they revealed a new space-based sci-fi MMO that will be coming out in 2009. Appearently, they are an "all-star" team in the mmo industry that just officially formed yesterday.

Colony Studios was founded by game industry veterans for the express purpose of developing next-generation, massively multiplayer online (MMO) products. Our MMO creative team brings to Colony Studios more MMO development experience than any other company at inception, with team members having made significant contributions to half of the top ten hit MMO game titles:


World of Warcraft


Eve Online


Lord of the Rings Online


Dark Age of Camelot


City of Heroes


The founding members have collectively shipped over 70 titles across a wide range of platforms, from today’s high-end PCs to the Apple IIe™, from the Sony PlayStation®2 and Microsoft Xbox™, and to the Sega Genesis™ and Nintendo® NES®.

Our current focus is on developing a unique, space-based sci-fi MMO that will contain immersive gameplay mechanics, innovative design, and truly unique content. It will captivate players, create social ties, and push the genre itself.
