Black Ops MMOs: Games in development under the radar

by Samuel Axon on Sep 28th 2008 9:00AM

Our colleagues over at Big Download have listed several PC games in development that they call "Black Ops" projects. The idea is that these games are operating out of sight, under the radar; nobody knows what's going on. It's all very hush hush and mysterious. The game industry and secrecy go hand in hand, after all.

We're bringing this up because there are a bunch of MMOs in the list. In fact, they pretty much dominate it. Titles mentioned include the KotOR MMO, the Red 5 Studios project, 38 Studios' Copernicus, ZeniMax Online Studios' MMO (which is possibly Elder Scrolls-based), and of course Blizzard's mysterious "Next-Gen MMO." Interesting stuff. Head over to Big Download to find out what's up on the down low.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Bioware already officially confirmed that their next MMO is in fact a KOTOR MMO?

The creator of EVE Online is working on an MMO based on the World of Darkness franchise.

And Shane Lacey Hensley is producing a Deadlands MMO with Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment.
