MMORPG: Fallen Earth MMO "Content Complete"

2008_10_03_fallen.jpgFallen Earth has announced that its self-titled MMO, Fallen Earth, is now "content complete" and is currently in alpha testing, but they have made no announcement concerning any upcoming beta test.

Fallen Earth is a post-apocalyptic MMO that is to mix first-person shooter and traditional role-playing game mechanics, and Fallen Earth have announced "thousands" of character customization options via "hundreds" of wearable objects on character slots, "including head, mouth, eye, and ear slots". Player weapons include everything from "a bladed hockey stick … a Taser on a hammer … and even a baker’s rolling pin".

The game is to feature approximately 70 towns, over 5,000 missions and fifteen towns are designed to be conquered by opposing factions of players.

“When we set our milestones and started the scrum method nine months ago, we knew we had some incredibly high goals for the team to achieve,” said Colin Dwan, Fallen Earth project manager. “Since then we have run like a well-oiled machine and actually surpassed those original goals. The team has worked tirelessly to not only deliver an immense volume of material, but new and innovative play experiences. Quality has not been sacrificed on our path to completion. I can't wait to get more people in the world to enjoy this awesome experience.”
