Mortal Online is a new MMORPG being developed by Star Vault. The trailer we’ll be showing by the end of this post announces the official public beta for the game.

Mortal Online uses the Unreal Engine 3 and it claims to offer a system that should give players much more freedom than current MMOs do. The characters can have different races, but they will not have levels or classes: the growth and development for each character is done with an ability-based system. Each character can use more than one character, that will be connected with each other through a common “soul” called Deva (it’s still not known how this feature will work).

Mortal Online should be launched on March. If you want to know more about the beta, visit the official site.

Ubisoft has officially confirmed the launch of Splinter Cell: Convincton to April 15th in Europe and Australia, on PC and XBox 360. The other dates are April 14th for the USA and April 16th in the UK. The game had been previously scheduled to launch on February, but the date was postponed and now confirmed.

Ubisoft has also declared that for the moment, there’s no plans of launching a demo before the launch date. We’ll have to wait and see. The game will be launched for PC and XBox 360.

After having cleared the rumors of a possible PlayStation 3 version of Mass Effect 2, the guys from BioWare are back to making the more than two million fans that bought the game in the past few days by announcing the arrival of free new content on Twitter:

“Free in-game content in a couple weeks for those who have activated Cerberus Network! Stay tuned for more details.”

We’ll stay tuned, of course.

After revealing the first impressive images for Crysis 2, Crytek and PC Games continue to deliver more interesting information, directly from the German version of the magazine. Here’s what we could find out:

• Crysis 2 will be placed three years after the first chapter, and users will play as a Delta Force soldier, sent by the US Army in order to stop the alien invasion in New York. Aliens in game have already devastated Rio de Janeiro, Londra and Tokyo.
• The “Speed” and “Power” modes on the Nanosuit will be combined in order to create a new “Tactical” mode, which will allow players to scan the surroundings in order to discover the aliens’ exact position
• Thanks to the skyscrapers, the playability will also be done vertically, allowing players to attack enemies from above, for example.
• All the images in the magazine are from the XBox 360 version.

At this point, we are still waiting for an official launch date for Crysis 2, which is however going to happen this year. The game will be launched for PC, PlayStation 3 and XBox 360.

The presence of the letters PS3 on part of the Mass Effect 2 code has all of a sudden brough some hope to PlayStation 3 owners, hopeful that the title would arrive on their favorite console. But BioWare’s development team has immediately replied to those rumors, justifying it with the fact that the Unreal Engine 3 is a multiplatform engine, and inside it, there would also be instructions for the PS3. The same thing was also present in the first Mass Effect, according to BioWare.

Not this time, my friends, I’m afraid.

There are still too many months before Diablo III can be launched, but Blizzard obviously seems to want to tease fans by releasing bunch of new images for the game. The official site for the famous RPG-action game was filled with new images, which we’ll show in the end of this post.

The launch date for Diablo III for PC and Mac OS hasn’t yet been defined, but it shouldn’t come before 2011, and it depends exclusively on how long the Blizzard developers will take to finish StarCraft II and a new World of Warcraft expansion.

We’ll leave you to the pictures now. Enjoy!
