Just saw that screenshot on Massively yesterday and was amazed at the graphics. Doesn't seem to be a lot of info out on this yet but it seems to have come out of nowhere. Rumored beta testing starting Q2/3 this year. Looking forward to getting more information.

It's going to be a "sci-fi" setting, but with "magic" as well. So basically a fantasy game that's been reskinned with "sci-fi" gfx. That may explain why it "came out of nowhere", yet seems to be quite far along the development path already.

What happened with Allods? I've never heard of that game.
They only started caring about the Russian player base. If your from anywhere else, they don't care about you. BUT, it is being developed by Obsidian too so we might get lucky.

What happened with Allods? I've never heard of that game.Nothing in term of the dev team as far as I know. Allods has a bad name because of gpotato, the "English" publisher, though.
edit: Looks like Allods doesn't have an english publisher anymore. Mail.ru took back the game from gpotato.
Skyforge is not published by gpotato (but My.com*) and the westernization is done by Obsidian Entertainment.
*This mean it's all internal because the Allods Team belong to Mail.ru, just like My.com does.
It is still going to be a Russian MMO though.
This game looks like gold. I can not wait to play. I rarely have "feelings" for an MMO anymore, but this one is getting to me. I mean Sci-Fi Fantasy. Finally, I thought Wildstar was it for a minute. This game is going to be something special, I can feel it.
Oh, its teh Allods guys ... well then ... can look like gold, im not touching it.
Likewise
I too was skeptical but since its a joint venture between Allods devs and Obsidian... i don't think there is too much to worry about. Obsidian is a very solid company.

It's Obsidian too so we might be okay.
Obsidian is a pretty good company.
