Interplay might have had to sell Fallout 3 to stay in business, but it looks like they kept an ace up their sleeve, retaining rights to create a Fallout MMO. A proposal filed in late November with the US Securities and Exchange Commission reveals that the company hopes to raise $75 million dollars through various means, including sales of Interplay common stock in order to fund the massive project, with a target release of 2010.
Right now it is only a proposal, but Interplay predicts 1 million subscribers globally within the first year and revenue of $160 million after its first year in operation.
A Fallout MMO would be absolutely awesome. Just what the MMORPG market needs to escape the tried and true medieval setting and start fresh. Unfortunately it isn't up to us gamers, and Interplay's track record could very well drown out the fans' cries of joy in the ears of investors.
