Raph Koster, known for his work on Ultima Online and the MMO Star Wars Galaxies is back. He opened his own studio, Playable Worlds, and seeks to launch a brand new MMO with a totally original IP address.

His team is made up of former MARVEL staff members, Disney and Sony Online, as well as Greg Costikyan, a famous table designer. In addition, Mat Broome, who worked as a cartoonist of comics for Marvel and DC and Brain Crowder as a main engineer.

Koster has suggested what the future reserves. It was very firm on the fact that it will be an original intellectual property and not a licensed universe. The focus will be on the freedom of the player, a deduction of the Ultima era. The players will be able to socialize, create, venture, explore or even engage in PVP. Koster hopes that he will offer various experiences and become a hobby for players.

"We want a world where all kinds of players can find a home," Koster said. "It means for players and more occasional people, for very fun players and people who like to discuss. Mobile games at Facebook Games, I think there are good lessons from all these different parts of our industry, and I want to apply all. "

Investors have already invested $ 2.7 million in Playable Worlds since the company's creation in 2018. With its experience, Koster turns to the future. Koster worked on many other games after departing from Ultima Online in 2000, including as a creative manager for Sony Online Entertainment, as well as consultant for gaming companies since 2013.
