Setting
Tabula Rasa will take place on multiple worlds (between 3-5) during the time of a galactic war between the Bane forces (Thrax) and the rebel coalition. Players will play on the side of the coalition as humans but will have aid from the inhabitants of each planet (possible expansion races?). The races of the different planets will be fairly human looking and have there own distinctive cultures. Each world will have its own environments ranging from endless deserts to lush forests. Specific world names and races have yet to be released but from what we have seen at E3, they will both look amazing.
The Benefactors?Stone Project
Many have asked, and I am happy to say that the Benefactor Stone Project will continue; however changes are planed. The old project is currently under revision and past information provided should be disregarded.
The language of the Eloh will play an important role in the game for understanding the history/lore and will mix in with the new ˇ®Logo' magic like system. The Eloh have left clues for us, and it's our job to uncover them!
We currently don't know what will be changed in the new version of the project but it could have something to do with the new logo system. The project should pick up later this year or early next year. |
