No matter what your feelings may be toward NCsoft, it is great to see that the developer and publisher continues to greenlight MMORPGs instead of merely coasting on what it already has.

Apparently, the company is working on and hiring for a new top secret MMO these days. Even more interesting is the fact that this “next-generation console and PC MMORPG” is somehow related to or set in the Aion universe. A sequel? A side-quel? The only other detail we know about this project is that it is utilizing the Unreal Engine 4.

NCsoft isn’t the only studio that has some sort of secret MMO in the works right now. CCP let it slip that it’s creating an action MMO of some sort, John Smedley is building… something for Amazon Game Studios, and Nexon was snapping up developers for a likely MMO at its Irvine studio.
