Gazillion's Fortune Online is Coming to Browsers
Last week, Jumpgate Evolution Community Manager Kara "OhSnap" Kroupa announced that she was moving to a new community manager role at NetDevil to work on an "exciting new project." She hinted at the time that more details would be coming soon, and she wasn't kidding.
Gazillion Entertainment and NetDevil announced this week that Fortune Online, their new browser-based action MMO, has entered closed beta. According to the team, the free-to-play dungeon-crawling game will be available through "any browser released this century."
Head over to the game's official site to sign up for the beta. If you'd like to see Fortune Online in action, check out some new screenshots in our gallery and the launch trailer after the jump. We've also added some quotes from the team below the video.
Quotes from the Fortune Online team:
“Developed with our own patent-pending engine, Fortune Online sets a new standard for browser-based online games,” states Brian Booker, Producer for Fortune Online. “Our engine pushes Flash to amazing new heights, enabling us to create the kind of kick ass game that we, as gamers, like to play – a full-featured MMO we can all play together whenever and wherever we are.”
“Like at work,” continues Dan Fiden, Vice President of Publishing for Gazillion. “But only during lunch, of course. We at Gazillion Entertainment couldn’t possibly endorse the playing of games of any kind during normal work hours. Obviously.”
David Brevik, President and COO of Gazillion Entertainment and designer of Diablo, adds, “I know a thing or two about dungeon crawlers, and with Fortune Online you get into one with unparalleled ease. What we’re doing in a browser is simply amazing. It’s a great example of Gazillion’s focus – free-to-play, console-quality games right in your browser.”
