Everquest - Champions Of Norrath Announced
Thanks to several readers for pointing out a Sony press release announcing Champions Of Norrath: Realms Of Everquest for the Playstation 2. This action RPG, being developed by Snowblind Studios, who also made Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, promises "..a deep, single-player campaign, but it also includes a free online multiplayer component, allowing up to four friends to adventure together using their own Internet connections." As this title will clearly be using the engine from the well-received BG:DA, this could be a very useful addition to the console action RPG canon.
Looks like Baldur's Gate:Dark Alliance was mentioned quite a bit in the good co-operative games thread, so it's cool to see another potentially fun co-op title announced.
I work at Snowblind Studios, and we're not doing the Fallout game. That's somebody else. Just FYI :P
