Yesterday at a big media conference where ChangYou revealed several new titles, the company’s Vice President revealed that the company secured the Shadowbane IP rights and is developing an online game mentioned as “World of Shadowbane”. Having been part of the original Shadowbane China operating team, he said that the game left him with some regrets. No other information was given. Update: “World of Shadowbane” at this point has been in development for 1 year already. This reminded me of NetDragon’s Dungeon Keeper Online (link).

At the media event, a total of 6 other MMOs were revealed, although most are in codenames such as Project X7 and Project M. Having got the rights for both CryEngine 3 and Unreal Engine 3, they will be used to develop several upcoming titles. These games were teased to be of several different genres, including 1 with a Diablo III feel, one which is an action combat game and an adventure MMO along the lines of Tomb Raider.
DaVinci Online was also part of the announcement, which was reported several months ago (link). Developed in Korea, ChangYou obtained global rights for the online shooter inspired by the Renaissance era, which means gamers can expect an English server in the near future. There will be an iPad version as well.
