It was announced this morning, that SOE is joining forces with Virgin Comics to create an MMO based off of the widely popular India-based comic book, Ramayan 3392 A.D.

For those of you unfamiliar with the title, Ramayan is based on Indian lore. It’s the hope of everyone involved, that with the development of this new title, that gamers will have the opportunity to experience themes of one of the oldest cultures on Earth.

Breaking away from the traditional Tolkien-like MMO molds, Ramayan will infuse aspects of Indian culture such as duty, sacrifice, and karma, into the online world.

The new union plans on developing the game in India, drawing on the creative talent of those individuals who created the original comic.
