Carbine Studios and NCsoft announce WildStar
The massively multiplayer online game that Carbine Studios and NCsoft have been teasing these past few weeks was unveiled at gamescom. And we have a bunch of images to prove it! It's called WildStar. Set on the good old "edge of known space," you'll play as explorers, soldiers, scientists, or settlers trying to make sense of a curious planet. The promise here is "content, challenges, and rewards" based on your style of play, which I'm sure we'll be hearing more about in the coming months. Carbine is already offering beta sign-ups, if you are so inclined. Really digging the art style of this game. Did you know?
