Dating back to last year, during E3, it was announced that NCSoft had signed to do an exclusive game for the PS3. Almost a week after that, NCSoft gave some details to their plans in regards to developing on the PS3

The goal behind the joint venture was for NCSoft to develop an exclusive MMO for the PlayStation 3. Details of this MMO still remain to be unknown but there are motions happening that might give insight to the fact that this exclusive MMO, is already in the pre-development stages. What makes us think this? Well over at the official NCSoft website, you can see that the company is listing job openings for an “exciting new venture”. Some of these openings include a Junior Network Developer, Senior Network Developer, Third Party Development Manager, and Server Support. All of those have to add up to a new MMO game.

Keep in mind that PSU is not by any means confirming that the MMO is about to go under development, just throwing out an indication that we smell something cooking in the near future. Can you smell it as well?

    Mondax, we had this story available about 9 hours ago, however, something came up in the writer's real life and he was unable to write it quickly.  We have about 10-15 sites we check regularily for updated news, etc... to do our research with.

    Unfortunately and realistically, with new news and rumours coming every day or so...I probably won't remember this article as there is really nothing to remember it by apart from not announcing anything whatsoever.  This is something you're more likely to see in forums rather than an official article.  There's just no depth or juiciness in the story. Sorry.

    You're probably right Matrix.  It might be good as an update refresh for people who have forgotten or new PS3 users who didn't know in the first place.  Not everyone visits the forum, but I see your point completely.

    The only MMO I'm happy with right now is Warhawk.  Maybe NCsoft can change my mind.
