Schilling's RPG to be published by EA photo

Curt Schilling’s mysterious RPG will remain mysterious in the immediate future, but at least it has a codename and a publisher. Earlier this morning it was announced that the MMO, freshly codenamed as “Project Mercury,” is slated to be an EA Partners-published title.

The game is still being developed by Big Huge Games, a subsidiary of Schilling’s 38 Studios. In the publishing announcement this morning it was mentioned that Big Huge is being led by Ken Rolston, the lead designer for Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls III and IV, which seems like a nice tease of what we should expect from the still-secret fantasy RPG. The speculation spirits tell us to think about "Project Mercury" as a breezy, action-oriented RPG. Game writer R.A. Salvatore isn't exactly known for slow-paced (or coherent) narratives.

I weirdly misread the above as Schindler's List for a second. It's only a matter of time though....

Disappointed. :(

Damn...was hoping this was about a RPG that has nothing to do with MMOs...

Seems MMOs' rpgs are all about killing shit and robbing their warm corpses.

Project Mercury is not a MMO, it's an RPG. The MMO is called Copernicus and is still in developement.

I can't play any action RPG's outside of the Elder Scrolls series (other than Mass Effect). They're all just so bad: Gothic Series, Two Worlds, Divinity 1 & 2, etc.

Didn't Ken Rolston try to retire? Poor guy.

Thanks for making such a cool project. I've been checking the site for the Windows version, but I never left a comment about it. I know you are working hard and doing it for free so you shouldn't feel rushed or anything.

According to TORC, raiding parties of Trojans had previously  been among the Sea Peoples of Egyptian history and the Philistines.  It would therefore make sense that they also attacked Crete, leaving the Phaistos Disk behind.
