Companies Sign Exclusive Long-Term Agreements Covering DC Comics and The Matrix Online MMO Licensing

SAN DIEGO and BURBANK, Calif., June 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Online Entertainment Inc., and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announced exclusive long-term licensing agreements allowing SOE to develop a DC Comics massively multiplayer online game for PC and next generation consoles, as well as the acquisition of The Matrix Online game by SOE.

"By working with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment we will fuse the knowledge SOE has in the online space with some of Warner Bros.' phenomenal properties," said John Smedley, president, Sony Online Entertainment. "SOE will work closely with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Comics to maintain the authenticity consumers demand from the DC Comics franchises. We will also take steps to continue the same high level of service that subscribers have come to expect from The Matrix Online game."

"Our goal is to deliver quality content and consistently advance our key properties within the online games space," said Jason Hall, senior vice president of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "We've done just that with The Matrix Online. Because of our compelling work in developing and launching that game we can now move it over to the leaders in the MMO space, SOE. We look forward to working with SOE to enhance our overall services to massively multiplayer online gamers for The Matrix Online and a new DC Comics game."

"Expanding our fans' ability to participate in the DC universe through a great online game is a terrific step forward for DC Comics," said Paul Levitz, President & Publisher of DC Comics. "We look forward to working with our colleagues at Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and the talented folks at SOE."

SOE, a worldwide leader in MMO gaming, will work with WBIE, a major creator, developer and licensor of key game properties, to create a next generation online game based on the vast universe of DC Comics. DC Comics is the largest English-language publisher of comics in the world and home to such iconic characters as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the Sandman. SOE will be creating a DC Comics game for the PC and next generation gaming platforms, and is currently planning on a fourth quarter release in 2007.

Maybe they can now fix those dam missions bugs- if not, F this game.

[Sheeyt]

Casper I told you those have long been fixed.

[Casper]

Casper I told you those have long been fixed.
Whatever, I was on it for over a week and they happened the second day I was there. There was NO support from them apart from emails - that's piss poor and why I'm not going back. Btw, they were there since beta - that's too dam long to fix the game.

[Sheeyt]

No they weren't because I went through that mission just fine. Oh well, perhaps Sony will fix some of the other issues though.

If you played everquest, you'd know to stay clear of this game now.

So i say to you that are in the unknown.....RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!!!!

[Variation]

If you played everquest, you'd know to stay clear of this game now.

They are only using for servers and hosting, not creating :P

But you should have stayed clear of this game before SOE dabbled their hands into it :P
