6:00AM Tori Floyd | As if MMOs for teens and adults aren’t bad enough, Fluid Entertainment (Disney Princess Castle Party, Disney Mix, Pokémon Play It!) has decided that children need a Warcrack of their own. They’ve secured $US 3.2 million in backing for the development of a new MMO aimed at children. With only a few entries in this genre so far, Fluid is going after a relatively untapped market. The game will have an environmental theme, and according to the press release, boast “unprecedented levels of engaging gameplay for children’s MMOs, while infusing the compelling narrative with a meaningful purpose”. The MMO will be an original title, meaning it’s not likely to be based off any of Fluid’s previous partnerships with Hasbro, Disney, or Mattel. We can all rest easy that it won’t be World of Hannah Montana. Thank goodness.
