Tabula Rasa Seeks Testers...

Lord British is still kicking down there in Austin. Today, Tabula Rasa put up a surprise news item asking for beta testers. This sci-fi shooter-RPG hybrid MMO has been in production under various guises for a number of years. Perhaps this is the first sign that the game is finally reaching the end of its development cycle? Could 2007 be the year we finally see Tabula Rasa?

About Tabula Rasa

Tabula Rasa is a massively multiplayer online action game that takes you into the heat of battle at the frontlines of an epic war between a xenophobic alien race bent on galactic conquest and the coalition of rebel soldiers who've traveled across the galaxy to stop them.

Combining fast-paced action with the immersion of a role-playing game, Tabula Rasa takes the player on an intergalactic adventure where the individual has an opportunity to significantly impact the pace of battle on a global scale. Players enter the game as rebel soldiers wielding a variety of futuristic weapons, potent demolitions and the mystical power of "Logos." It is up to each individual to use their stealth, ingenuity and skill to assist a ragtag coalition of rebels in their efforts to stop an enemy known for its intelligence and unyielding determination to enslave the Universe.
