MMORPG Veteran

It’s that time again to discuss the next generation MMORPGs. For the next few days, we will look at the newest MMORPGs destined to hit the market.

First up:

Grand Theft Auto World

I was able to sit down and talk to Rockstar North Executive producer Leslie Benzies about their new title. Here is what she had to say:

“Rockstar Games is proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto World will be available in North America during the spring of 2009.

“Grand Theft Auto’s growth continues to exceed all our expectations,” said Leslie Benzies. “We want to reiterate our thanks to the millions of players worldwide and to all the retailers who have enthusiastically supported the game over the years. Our commitment to continue growing the Grand Theft Auto franchise is stronger than ever. We look forward to offering a more invigorating experience for our current fans and welcoming new players into the world this holiday season through our open beta test.”

Rockstar Games is a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO).

She didn’t have much else to say. I think this is a plot to build more fan-based enthusiasm. It’s working!!
