Interplay has relaunched its website today, but more importantly the developer known for hits such as Fallout and Baldur's Gate has brought back Chris Taylor, who was a part of the original Fallout game development team at Interplay in 1994.
Taylor (not to be confused with Gas Powered Games' Chris Taylor famous for Dungeon Siege and Total Annihilation) will serve as Lead System Designer for "Project V13," which is currently the working title of Interplay's next generation MMO. Taylor is joining other original Fallout team members at Interplay's internal game studio, which opened an office in Irvine, California not long ago. Interplay said it's hiring additional development staff members as the project ramps-up.
Although Bethesda Softworks (Oblivion) acquired the rights to Fallout last year, at the time it was indeed specified that Interplay would retain the rights for an upcoming Fallout MMO. To ensure retention of those rights, Interplay had to begin full scale development of the game in the next two years and then release the game before four years have passed after development begins. It would appear that everything is on track for now.
Towards the end of 2007, Interplay also brought back Jason Anderson, a veteran of Fallout 1 and 2.
