Chris Taylor Helming Fallout MMOG?

A new Interplay Website is online, a
home the company's revived game development efforts. The site mentions plans for
Earthworm Jim 4 and an MMOG project they are calling Project V13 for
which they've opened a new development studio in Orange County, CA. It seems
pretty obvious that Project V13 must be the Fallout MMORPG Interplay retained the
rights to develop when they sold the Fallout franchise to Bethesda Softworks
(story). If any doubts about that remain, they will probably go
away after reading
this press release announcing Chris Taylor has rejoined the company, as they
say he is heading up Project V13 in an announcement that mentions he is "a game
designer who was a part of the original Fallout game development team at
Interplay in 1994" and also: "Taylor joins other original Fallout team members
on staff at Interplay’s internal game studio." When Bethesda bought the Fallout
rights in April 2007, Interplay retained the rights to create a Fallout MMORPG
provided development of the game began within two years, the game launched
within six years, and the project had secured funding of at least $30 million
USD. Thanks
