   One of the new titles included on 10tacle Studios' games line-up for the Leipzig GC 2007 is Black Prophecy, a space Action-MMO they insisted to keep shrouded in secrecy, until this week. And no wonder, since this seems to be the most important addition to the Germans' catalogue, which previously also included titles such as Codename Panzers: Cold War or Elveon (a project introduced at GC 2005, but which seems to be coming along very slowly).

   The developer behind Black Prophecy is the German studio Reakktor Media, a name synonymous with Neocron, another futuristic MMO universe. Unlike that one, Black Prophecy will move the action to outer space, promising to deliver cinema-quality space battles. In order to back up their claims, the devs are offering the first images from the game, indeed pleasant to look at, and the following starting scenario:
"By the mid 26th century humanity has conquered the universe and colonized countless planets. Yet life in space requires a great deal of adaptation. Bred for just these conditions, the cybernetically adapted Tyi and the biogenetically optimized Geniden have outgrown their creators to become the new ruling races. Their uncompromising battle for total mastery of space leads humanity into the sphere of influence of an ancient alien life form - a life form which tolerates no other cosmic civilizations but its own. In this battle against an overpowering enemy, players must first choose which of the two rival factions they wish to join as they try to save humanity."    Aside from the space battles fought either for the sake of PvP, or to complete solitary missions, Black Prophecy will also feature role-playing elements, a resource-management system, and of course various ways to "socialize" online, by joining clans (who can have their own space station) or fleets dedicated to political battles.

   The game is planned for release in late 2008, and those who want to learn more about it are invited to drop by the Black Prophecy website.
