The event was for Auto Assault Online, the pending NCsoft/NetDevil massively multiplayer online PC title, held at the Dolby Laboratory in San Francisco. The evening was not only to learn more about changes talking place in the game, but also to afford media some hands-on time with the game.

Auto Assault takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting where three races battle for control of the world. Humans, mutants and biomeks use various vehicles to travel the highways and byways of the world, engaging in player-versus-environment and player-versus-player action.
