SOE Turns Virgin Comic Book Into MMOG

By | August 9, 2007 | | Filed under: News

Sony Online Entertainment and Virgin Comics announced today their plans to bring Indian-mythology based comic book Ramayan 3392 A.D. to the MMOG platform,  initially as a PC game. This leaves the possibility of ports to consoles open and is in line with SOE’s apparent plans to bring MMOGs to Sony’s PlayStation 3 with The Agency already on its way.

Through this exclusive multi-year, worldwide license agreement, SOE will develop and publish an MMO based on Ramayan’s story of mythological lore. Virgin Comics will serve as a creative consultant on the project. Virgin’s creative involvement with SOE’s game development team will be spearheaded by its President and head, Suresh Seetharaman, who has also overseen the development of the comic series. Also involved is acclaimed filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, a co-founder of Virgin Comics.
