"Fallout Online is to debut in 2012, according to Interplay. President Eric Caen has revealed that the massively-multiplayer game will be released despite an ongoing legal despite with Bethesda over rights to the franchise. &amp;quot;We have a beta scheduled for 2012, with the commercial launch in the second half of 2012. We have 90 people working on it. Even in January 2009, you were already able to move across the world,&amp;quot; he told Edge. Caen said that the title will use other forms of communication outside of the game to immerse players into &amp;quot;reconstructing the world&amp;quot;, such as regular emails and text messages from in-game characters. It was added that the release will see the return of humour missing from recent Fallout releases. &amp;quot;We appreciate some portions of [Bethesda&amp;#039;s work], and we&amp;#039;re not necessarily fans of everything. I think they miss a lot of the humour, and the fans seem to agree with that.\u00A0Fallout 3\u00A0was a little bit too serious - that&amp;#039;s definitely not where we&amp;#039;re going. Our Fallout MMO will be extremely funny.&amp;quot; The latest iteration in the franchise, Fallout: New Vegas, is available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC from today.
