More distant in the development channel is the title that Matt Firor, formerly of Mythic Entertainment (Dark Age of Camelot) is working on.
"As gaming companies go, few are as well-known for producing quality products as the team at Bethesda Softworks. Continuing to produce additions to the massively popular Elder Scrolls series along with the upcoming Fallout 3, Bethesda has a following that will continue to purchase their games well into the future. When it was announced that ZeniMax Media, Bethesda's parent company, had started a online gaming studio, many Elder Scrolls fans shouted with joy. If ever there was an opportunity for an online iteration of the Elder Scrolls series, the arrival of this online studio, dubbed ZeniMax Online, certainly marked it.On top of all that, ZeniMax also announced that they had hired a big name in the MMOG industry, Matt Firor, to head up the new studio. Firor originally made his name in the MMOG industry as one of the founders of Mythic Entertainment, the developers of Dark Age of Camelot, and as a general MMOG expert. Since the Ten Ton Hammer staffers are equally fans of the Elder Scrolls series and Dark Age of Camelot, we had Garrett Fuller write up a series of questions for Matt Firor to answer to sate our curiosity concerning ZeniMax Online."
AAA development company hires AAA developer. Read what Matt has to say about his upcoming game in this ZeniMax Online interview with Matt Firor only at TenTonHammer.com.As always, if you enjoy the MMOG coverage that TenTonHammer provides you can support us here.
