Sony Online Entertainment, the studio behind EverQuest and Planetside 2, has launched a teaser site for it's next major project, ahead of an expected reveal tonight.

Currently being referred to as H1Z1 , SOE president John Smedley explained via Twitter that "the new game we haven't announced" is set to be revealed tonight replete with gameplay footage at 5pm PT / 8pm ET / 1am GMT. All we have so far is a ghostly teaser site , suggesting the game may be rather spooky.Further tweets from Smedley suggest a full release may not be too far off, as he wrote "You can play it yourself soon". While we don't know for certain what the game is about, the name is slightly reminiscent of H1N1, a strain of flu virus responsible for pandemics. The inclusion of the letter "Z" has led some to believe it's about a zombie outbreak.Whatever it is, we'll find out soon enough. SOE has spoken before about an unannounced MMO it has in development, so it'll be interesting to see if tonight's reveal is in any way linked. Additionally, while we can assume a PC release is guaranteed, the company has appeared more and more interested in launching games on both PS3 and PS4, so a console release isn't out of the question.
