Sony Online Entertainment recently mentioned Free Realms as a project that a winner of a scholarship contest would get a chance to work on. The scholarship and contest was in hopes to get more female game designers involved with the industry. Well, today, SOE has released some new screenshots and a fact sheet for the upcoming MMO game.
Due out in the second quarter this year for the PC and PlayStation 3, Free Realms features a do-anything-you-want and go-anywhere-you-please kind of feel to it, with no pressures to beat up giant bosses or level up your fighting skills. You can count this game as a casual MMO for PC and PS3 owners, and it operates on the convenience of being played in a browser.
The game encourages social-based gaming that does support missions and class-based objectives, if you want it to. There’s also mini-games and other activities present within this 3D, casual online game.
You can check out the new screenshots and fact sheet below or visit the Official SOE Website for more details. Be sure to stay tuned in with Blend Games for further updates and news regarding all things gaming.
