Head over to West Hall to preview this new MMOG.

Micro Forté, the developer behind Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel, is pleased to announce that they will be previewing their eagerly awaited action MMOG, Citizen Zero, at E3 in Los Angeles.

Citizen Zero represents a revolution in online gaming, combining the guts and muscle of an action shooter with the depth and character of a MMORPG. Citizen Zero is set on Typhron, a penal colony on the fringes of known space. Contact with Earth has been lost, leaving the colony in permanent lock-down and trapping the inhabitants in a few enclaves. Life on Typhron is tough, but the possibilities are endless for the strong. The player is a Zero, a free agent in a world of prisoners. Citizen Zero is in development for the Xbox and PC platform and utilizes Micro Forté’s BigWorld Technology, a middleware solution for MMOG development.

“ We will be running Citizen Zero over ten Xbox game stations connected together so that the press and interested distributors may see for themselves just what is possible for the Xbox” said Mr John De Margheriti, CEO of Micro Forté. The PC version is still under development. Distribution and hosting partnerships enquiries are welcomed.
