Hmm. You know. I've been reading around about all of this, and I think that Digital Extremes do have a new game for PC. I think that it is based on DarkSector that they were developing.
Here's a quote from the mentioned article:
There are for now over 30 levels implanted, divided over one "techno Egyptian area"...
Look on the front page of
Digital Extremes and you'll see an Egyptian player model.
The article also says:
on the DarkSector Section, they say "...and then face off in the ice mines of Europa."
The very first line on the DS press release says that "Leading computer game developer Digital Extremes announces it's follow-up to the critically acclaimed Unreal Tournament.".
Yeah, Egyptian and Ice worlds are pretty standard fare in the world of gaming, but it just doesn't make sense that all of these different games are out there.
Either way.. Dark Sector sounds extremely cool. Perhaps it's just not going to be the fully realized, evolving MMO that they originally intended.
Guess we'll have to wait and see...
