Sony Online Entertainment may have its hands full managing Planetside 2 – including porting the game to the PlayStation 4 – and Everquest Next but the company still has plans for a new MMO down the line.
After teasing as much in a recent Reddit AMA, SOE president John Smedley took to Twitter to clarify just why their next game wouldn’t be a sci-fi title.
“So the SWG [Star Wars Galaxies] fans seem to hate the ideas I’ve mentioned if they aren’t in a sci-fi game. Ok. My bad I guess. thought they might like it.” He then added the reason why it wouldn’t be a sci-fi MMO. “The reason why? Sci-fi is not popular worldwide. Go to China and you’ll find it’s not real big there. not sure why exactly.”
As of now, it seems this unannounced MMO could be a free to play game. When told that most good MMOs required subscription fees, Smedley replied, “No, they don’t.” Stay tuned for more.
