Gala Announces New Free-To-Play MMO Game Street Gears

-Publisher and Gala, Inc.'s European subsidiary Gala Networks Europe has announced its plans to release its third MMORPG, Street Gears, a free-to-play online game set in a persistent manga-style universe in which players challenge each other in races or trick contests.

Street Gears uses cell-shading graphics to emphasize the game's manga and arcade-like atmosphere. The game provides a mix of "avatar evolution" and extreme sports, offering a "colorful and competitive roller game " experience for both hardcore and casual gamers.

The "massively multiplayer roller game" will be exclusive to Gala's gPotato.eu portal. Set to debut in June 2008 with French and German versions, Street Gears will follow Gala's previous MMORPGs, Flyff and Rappelz, both of which are also available through the publisher's online portal. NFlavor Corp., the studio that worked on Rappelz, will return to develop Street Gears.
