The free-to-play MMO market just got a bit more crowded as GamesCampus has announced its forthcoming MMORTS called Soul Master. The game looks to innovate by marrying traditional Hero units from the real-time strategy genre with the level of individual style and character control commonly found in MMORPGs.

"Soul Master is unlike anything else currently out there and definitely what players have been waiting for," said GameCampus' David Chang. The game, scheduled to enter closed beta testing in June, will feature resource-driven RTS combat and progression in addition to persistent individual character development.

GamesCampus promises fast-paced combat, likening the experience to "the high-speed action of a character versus character brawler and the tactical elements of a squad-based RTS." Additionally, the game is set to feature robust PvP content as well as boss raids, co-op missions, and various scenario modes for PvE players. Stay with Massively for further Soul Master coverage as we get closer to the beta test, and don't forget to check out the teaser trailer after the cut.

gamigo, a leading publisher of FTP online games, announced its latest creation called Soul Master.

"We are excited to announce that we will be the exclusive European publisher of Soul Master," says gamigo executive board member Patrick Streppel. "Soul Master provides a unique gameplay experience that combines strategy and role-play, fitting perfectly into our broad portfolio of free-to-play online games."

In Soul Master, an entirely mission-based world, three factions duke it out for the right to rule all. Inside cities players will find a place to meet and to get quests, something the developer claims to have no shortage of. Besides just running through missions to build up a character, however, players will be attempting to capture resources that will aid them in building up a base and growing an army.

There will be no lack of PvP, either, as players will be able to fight other Soul Masters in PvP battles and in guild wars that are going to be an "absolute highlight" of the experience. Expected to be released in the third quarter of 2010, Soul Master will be staying in the tradition of gamigo's other titles and remaining completely free-to-play. Join me after the jump for a trailer and some more game highlights.
