News is out of a new joint massively multiplayer online game currently in development from Masthead Studious and Interplay. Currently dubbed Project: V13, the rumor mill is in full swing churning out speculations on whether this could turn into an MMO based on the critically acclaimed Fallout series.

In development since 2007 Project: V13 has both companies working together using Mastheads tools and MMO technology that were used for the post-apocalyptic MMO, Earthrise
Interplay Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Herve Caen had this to say:
“We are looking forward to turning the vision of our game designers into a compelling online gaming experience. The planning and design completed for Project: V13 thus far, combined with Masthead’s resources, tools, and growing team of dedicated MMOG developers, will bring this unique game to reality.“
Masthead President Atanas Atanasov said;
“This arrangement is ideal because it leverages the technology our professionals have specifically built for advanced Massively Multiplayer Online Games into what we expect will be a groundbreaking Interplay gaming title.“
Don’t hold your breath for official confirmation of Project: V13 being Fallout Online anytime soon, but keep in mind that Interplay stills holds the exclusive distribution rights to Fallout titles which gives us hope.
