Citizen Zero canceled, Micro Fort working on spy MMO
Citizen Zero
has been canceled. After nearly seven crippled years in development, Micro Forté has dragged the gimpy MMO out back and put a bullet in the poor thing -- for the better. We haven't heard a peep outta Citizen Zero since 2004, when Micro Forté revised the storyline from the initial framework proposed in 2000. Citizen Zero was to be a showcase for the company's middleware BigWorld Technology, which is now being used in upcoming MMO Stargate Worlds.
Micro Forté has apparently shifted focused to a spy MMO. It's unclear if this is the same project that was revealed by Sony executive Yair Landau during his D.I.C.E. keynote. According to Landau, SOE's Seattle studio is the primary developer, but perhaps SOE has licensed BigWorld for the game. We'll keep you posted.
