“I honestly can’t think of any product as ambitious as Ryzom”

Atys – a lush, and green planet that harbors incredible beauty and menacing danger. In the early days of the planet, the hominkind rose to power, but the thirst was not sated with merely conquering the world and establishing itself as the superior species. Soon the world was plunged into a war as clans fought for control.

The species fought itself to a point of weakness, and that was when the kitin swarmed over the planet. The greatest of the clans were decimated and the survivors of the onslaught fled into the wilderness.

“Three generations have since passed for healing wounds, rebuilding lives, for introspection and rekindling the spirit of hominkind. The time has now come for the wise and the brave to take up the reins of ambition, to blaze the trail to a new order, to span the rifts between continents and forge the destinies of their civilizations.” - Elias Tryton, Year 2525.

The Saga of Ryzom is the massively multiplayer online game from developer Nevrax and publisher Themis Group. It is slated for release later this year, and will challenge players with some unique gameplay aspects as well as provide an incredible treat for the eyes.

This coming year is going to see a host of MMPs hitting the market. So what will set Ryzom apart?

For that, GameZone went to the source and Nevrax CEO David Cohen was kind enough to take time to talk about this incredible-looking title.
