My.com Unveils New Game Project, Developed by
the Allods Team in Collaboration with Obsidian Entertainment
Your destiny is your own to forge. My.com, a subsidiary of
Mail.Ru Group, has revealed a new AAA title: the premium massively
multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) Skyforge is
currently being developed by the Allods Team, an in-house studio of
Russian Internet giant Mail.Ru Group, with westernization from US
gamemaker Obsidian Entertainment. Skyforge will launch as an
immersive MMORPG gaming experience for PCs.
In Skyforge, players develop from immortals, to mighty
champions, to powerful gods gaining and developing their mortal
followers and powers along the way. Empowered by the faith and
skill of their followers, gods battle invading armies in intense,
merciless combat to protect their home world. Skyforge
features unique action combat and a massive variety of classes and
character customization options as players grow from immortal to
invincible gods.
Skyforge is being developed by the award winning Russian
game developer Allods Team, a part of the Mail.ru Group. Their last
project, Allods Online, was the first major Russian MMORPG and
launched in more than 15 countries. The core of Allods Team
includes industry veterans who developed internationally acclaimed
games including Evil Islands, Etherlords, Silent Storm and Heroes
of Might and Magic V.
Set in a world where fantasy meets Sci-Fi and ancient mysteries
live side by side with cutting-edge technologies, Skyforge
transports players to a stunning universe where mortals and
immortals fight for survival against invading gods and their
armies. Players start as immortals newly reborn into the world and
vie to become gods themselves.
“This is our most ambitious project to date,” said Oleg
Shpilchevsky, The Allods Team’s Head of Development Studio. “With
players competing and cooperating on one single giant server,
Skyforge brings the massive back to MMORPGs.”
Visceral combat sequences and grand battles unfold across a
world settings limited only by the developer's imagination. To
ensure that Skyforge meets the expectations of players
worldwide, The Allods Team has enlisted the help of the widely
lauded development studio, Obsidian Entertainment.
“We have begun working closely with the Allods Team to ensure
that the game is a success in western markets,” said Eric DeMilt,
Development Director of Culturalization for Skyforge,
Obsidian Entertainment. “We are building a team of accomplished
developers to collaborate in class and instance content development
as well as westernization. It is an exciting partnership with an
excellent development team, and we can't wait for players to get
into the game.”
