Masthead Studios has released the cinematic introduction trailer for Earthrise, a sci-fi MMO that is scheduled to launch in two weeks. Check it out after the jump, along with a description of what's going on in the trailer straight from Masthead.

Earthrise will be available for digital download through the game's official site on Feb. 4. A retail version will be available exclusively in Europe and will include a limited edition bonus poster and map.

Description:

"The latest Earthrise video introduces fans to the thrill of venturing into the wilderness of Enterra alone to obtain new gear. The protagonist is an adventurer who rides a long way to an old, crafting terminal from the age of the Pioneers – a military grade technology currently only available to the government. Journeying into unknown territory at the risk of a potential ambush, the main character relies on his protection armor, shotgun and skimmer mount for safety. The antagonist is wearing speed armor and using the precision rifle to attack the protagonist and loot his possessions.

The trailer also depicts the main character being awakened into the re-vesselment chamber. Fans can see the global insurance system that is maintained by Helix Corp., an independent, neutral company that is ready to return lost items to players if they have insurance, which can be very expensive.  In Earthrise, players will always get a second chance to return to Enterra to seek revenge on those who have previously harmed them."
