At a preview event in downtown San Francisco, Bandai Namco Games and Hungarian developer Primal Game Studio revealed their current collaboration—a sci-fi MOBA called Supernova. The game, currently in its alpha stage, contains some predictably rough edges, but from what I saw at the event, it promises to become a more strategic kind of MOBA.

so they thought that RTS and MOBAS were not hard enough on their own, so why not combine them into the mother load of micromanaging difficulty?....
Incredible complexity rarely translates into widespread popularity, mostly because the grand majority of the population is not overly smart, ALSO most people don't want to spend a butt load of time just figuring out how to have some fun.
the best games have always been those that are really easy to learn, but very hard to master.
i do hope it works out for them, but at first glance this seems to cater to a very small, super hard core, elitist type of player. i may be wrong.
Yeah, lets combine RTS and MOBA. That went sooooo well for Trion with End of Nations. Not.
To bad really. End of Nations, before they went MOBA on it, was a fun game, though nothing like a RTSMMO which is what they had told people to expect, which IMHO was why that first iteration failed.
The error Trion made with the second End of Nations alpah was changeing focus from your units to your commander and his abilities to make it more MOBA like. In the original itereation you commanders abilities where important, but your actual units was the main focus which just played better.
I had mad hype for EON but the effing Trion jumped the moba train and wrecked the whole concept.
Still waiting for the next Shattered Galaxy though :j
There must be dozens of MOBA's or MOBA-hybrids in development at the moment.
Not surprising really. Making WoW clones was big business for a while, but making LoL clones will no doubt be a few orders of magnitude bigger. The budget for making a MOBA must be a fraction of that required for a full-scale MMORPG, so everyone and their dog will have a go.
