NCsoft Europe, the worlds leading developer and publisher of online computer games, announced today that Richard Garriotts Tabula Rasa, a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game for the PC where players are thrust into an exciting intergalactic struggle, has launched its commercial service in Europe and North America.
Now the fun begins! I cant wait to join thousands of other players in this exciting galactic war, said Richard Garriott, the games executive producer. It is time for us to release Tabula Rasa to the players. I am eager to see player reaction to the game, and am ready to build on what weve started here. Weve got plans for new features and expansions for the foreseeable future and Im hoping the players will enjoy the game and get excited about whats in store for them next!
Tabula Rasa, one of the most anticipated PC titles of the year, is the vision of gaming legend Richard Garriott. The game combines a rich game world and deep storyline with military combat and fast paced action. Set in a near-future science fiction backdrop, players must fight to save humanity against hostile alien enemies trying to gain control of the universe.
The game introduces several innovative elements to massively multiplayer online games, including a Character Cloning System that allows players to explore different character classes without having to create a new character, and dynamic battlefields where players feel the frenetic action of combat in an ongoing war.
We are all very excited about the addition of Tabula Rasa to our catalog of games, stated Geoff Heath, CEO of NCsofts European operation. One of NCsofts goals is to provide different types of online gaming products both within the proven fantasy genre and outside the genre, as well. This game is truly unique; we hope that Tabula Rasas science fiction background and military combat action proves to be enjoyable to many types of gamers.
