The Trion World Network has continued to keep details about its first game projects under a deep curtain for the most part but today the MMO based company revealed two new hires for their previously announced game-TV show collaboration with the Sci-Fi Channel. Former Blizzard team member Kevin Beardslee joins Trion as the Senior Development Director for the unnamed game. Beardslee was a "key member" of the World of Warcraft team and most recently worked at NCsoft's Carbine Studios on their unnamed MMO.

In addition, Trion and Sci-Fi have hired veteran TV scriptwriter Peter Egan to write the pilot episode of the joint venture. Egan's credits include the Sci-Fi Channel's own TV series The Dresden Files along with other shows like Medium, Over There and Playmakers.
