2008 yields heaps of hackin' 'n slashin' (and sailors, and soccer)
Five MMOs enough for you? Well, four and a half, I suppose. That's what Frogster Interactive Pictures AG is planning for the second half of the year: Runes of Magic, The Chronicles of Spellborn, StoneAge 2, Kickster and an Add-on for Bounty Bay Online.
So here's the schedule: Runes of Magic enters closed beta this September, "completely adapted to Western standards" (it's put out by a Berlin publisher), complete with an "impressive" soundtrack put down by sound studio Dynamedion. Roughly two months later, the game will enter open beta, and a complete launch will begin around the year's end. Pre-registration has already begun, so sign up if interested.
