Exclamation Publisher announced for Black Prophecy

I’ll make it short and just copy the press release into this thread.

Hamburg, March 4, 2010 – gamigo AG and Reakktor Media GmbH have officially announced that they will be working together on the highly-anticipated space action MMOG Black Prophecy. gamigo owns the global distribution and publishing rights for the game. The Hamburg-based publisher thus lays the foundation for a new focus on becoming a global publisher and producer of free-to-play Massively Multiplayer Online Games.

Patrick Streppel, gamigo's CMO, is enthusiastic about the new game: „Reakktor’s Black Prophecy will breathe life back into a genre previously forgotten. The game features graphics of the highest quality, a rich and meaningful story, and strong community features. Since we've begun collaborating with Reakktor, we have expanded greatly upon the concept of the game and thus are able to offer one of the first top-of-the-line free-to-play MMOGs."
A lot has happened in the development of Black Prophecy in the past few weeks. The biggest change has been the new direction as a free-to-play online game, previously unheard of for a game of this quality. Among other things, a crafting system was added and the layout of the game world was opened up. In-game dialogue will be recorded by professional voice actors. The one-and-a-half hour long orchestral soundtrack provides a rich and varied score of background music.

Kirk Lenke, CEO of Reakktor Media GmbH, said "We are excited to have found such a strong partner in gamigo for the publishing and distribution of our space action MMOG Black Prophecy. gamigo has the necessary skills and abilities to turn our product into a global MMOG blockbuster."

Black Prophecy is expected go into closed beta testing in April 2010.
We don’t have to say how happy we are to have found a competent publisher after such a long time and that we can now make Black Prophecy to the No.1 Space Action MMOG together with gamigo and in particular with you.

Further details will follow as soon as we are able to provide them.

Woop woop

Congratulations Reakktor!

Great news on the addition of the much requested crafting system and the fact it's free to play! The mind buzzes with new levels of ponderment by how many new questions this announcement brings just what does it mean by 'opening up the game world'? Does this mean more seamless space?

All very confusing but very, very good news.

However i do have to add you've ruined my chances at actually doing my dissertation

That's a wonderful news! Congratulations!

Regarding the Free to Play bit, I'm a bit skeptical, but I hope for the best

One question, do we have to sign up for the beta again, or are our old sign-ups still valid?

Really not sure that a crafting system will fit with what the game was trying to go for. Also, am somewhat sceptical of Gamigo's mareting clout when I haven't heard of any of the other MMOGs on their portfolio.

Still, good to see KK have got a deal that they are happy with, hoping to get a chance to play sometime soon.
