INTERPLAY AND MASTHEAD STUDIOS FINALIZE AGREEMENT TO DEVELOP MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER ONLINE GAME
LOS ANGELES, CA, January 21, 2010 — Interplay Entertainment Corp. (OTC BB:IPLY) announced today that the Company has signed definitive agreements with Masthead Studios concerning the development of Interplay’s post-apocalyptic Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG), code named “Project: V13.”
Project: V13 has been under development at Interplay since November 2007 by some of the original Fallout® creators. Masthead joined the project in early 2009 and development continues under Interplay’s direction and control. Project: V13 will utilize the proprietary tools and MMOG technology Masthead developed for its “Earthrise” project.
Commenting on the announcement, Interplay Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Herve Caen said, “Masthead’s technology is impressive and perfect for our Project: V13. Its team is passionate to bring our vision and game play to the market. This MMOG will have many unique features that we will disclose before launch of the public Beta in 2012.”
Masthead Studios President Atanas Atanasov said, “Project: V13 incorporates many creative and technological innovations. We believe it will be a unique experience. Our technology will continue to evolve in order to realize all the extraordinary content and features Interplay has designed.”
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Better to be crazy, provided you know what sane is...

I hope Interplay makes a strong come back with lessons learned from their original fall out (get it... fall out... joke hahah). I also hope they win the lawsuit with Zenimax/Bethesda and are able to get their IP back.
from 2007 to 2012 well at least we wont be hearing the "omg they are rushing" from haters.
the Evil Raider that outgears you and makes you cry for welfare epics on the forums.
Will this really be Fallout Online or has Bethesda that license now so that they have to call it something else but it will be like Fallout Online?
I think that if they had the license they would just call it Fallout Online instead of Project: V13.
Those are just my thoughts.
All those memories will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.
The deal was made in 2007 when Bethesda bought the IP, in 2009 interplay finalized and began full development, not just pre-development (GDD and all that). So the dev time is really starting around late 08 to 09. Bethesda was trying to hinder them the entire time.
