The MMO genre continues to get more and more crowded with the announcement of yet another new major project in the works. German publisher DTP Entertainment has revealed plans to make an Unreal Engine 3 based MMO title called Otherland. This game is based on the four well known Otherland sci-fi novels from author Tad Williams. The novels depict a near future where people connect directly to computers to experience virtual worlds.

The game itself is being developed by Singapore based studio RealU (owned by DTP) with creative input from Williams itself. The game won't follow the storyline of the novels but "...players will experience their own individual stories within the Otherland universe and will encounter many of the familiar characters from the books." The game is due for release in 2010.
