RAPID REALITY LAUNCHES CLOSED BETA ON IGN FOR MMO FPS, PHYLON
COMMERCIAL RELEASE SET FOR APRIL 6, 2007
In anticipation of the April 6, 2007 release of its first MMOFPS, Rapid Reality Studios announces the launch of the Phylon Closed Beta. The Beta will run on IGN’s Fileplanet from March 7-21, 2007.
Promising to be an exciting and challenging game, Phylon combines the fast-paced action of an FPS with the persistence and depth of an MMO. Join players from around the world as part of the Blobic Imperium, the Amphibian resistance, or the Terran colonists in their struggle for control of the planet Anura. Crush your enemies in instanced battle arenas, including Deathmatch and Domination. Advance in skill and unlock access to hundreds of unique items, including jet packs, energy shields, and weapons.
The game features:
- Comic style graphics and game-play in an MMO environment.
- Fast-paced FPS-style combat, where the skill of the player determines success or failure in a fight.
- Unique, third person camera and targeting system allows players to fight in an FPS style but with the expanded field of view of a third person perspective.
- Persistent world allows players to improve their character’s skills, equipment, and standing over time.
- 3-D graphical lobby allows players to find team mates and launch battle instances from inside the game, rather than using the web-based game lists that other games employ.
- Players can create their own dynamic competitions in instanced battle zones.
- Ability to support hundreds of simultaneous users in a single instanced, team-based battle arena without noticeable performance hits. The typical FPS can only support 32 or at most 64 users on a single map.
- Web-based leader boards rank top players and guild
The Closed Beta will be followed by an Open Beta from March 21-April 6, 2007 and will be available on Direct2Drive beginning on April 6, 2007.
