News > Microsoft Announces the MAG-killer: Gargantuan Hazard Battle
June 11, 2009
MAG (Massive Action Game), the PS3 exclusive promising amazing 256-player online battles, isn't on store shelves yet, but that hasn't stopped Microsoft from convincing Epic Games, the powerhouse developer behind the best-selling Gears of War franchise, to try to top it. And top it they may.Gargantuan Hazard Battle is real. It's in the works, will use the latest iteration of the Unreal engine, and supports a whopping 300 players (which is 44 more than MAG) for online battles that will play out "like an action movie" according to Epic veep Mark Rein. What that means exactly we can't say since the title is still relatively early in development, but when pressed Rein took a shot across Sony's bow by remarking, "After spending some time with GHB, you'll forget all about MAG." Strong words, but Epic has been known to deliver.
More on this title as it becomes available.
