Excalibur

Excalibur. Say it again (in your head if you like) but with an English accent.

Excalibur.

An action based side scrolling MMORPG set in the realm of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table from R2 and Elix. Excalibur has three classes to pick from, and combines MMORPG with classic beat ‘em up features. It is available now on the iPhone App store and on Google Play.

 

Industry Vets form Molten Games

Veterans from Blizzard and SOE have come together to form Molten Games, a new studio focusing on F2P AAA online PC games. They haven’t announced their first title yet, but they have announced a multimillion dollar investment from NCSoft. Currently Molten employs 30 people, which they hope to bring to 60 by the end of 2014 and 100 by the time their game launches.
