Matrix Online Sold to SOE

by Alec Matias Jun 16, 2005 3:51pm CST tags: MMO, The Matrix Online, Sony, Monolith
Not quite official yet, but it's pretty clear at this point that Sony Online Entertainment has acquired from Monolith both The Matrix Online and an in-development DC Comics MMO. This move marks the end of Monolith's MMO productions and it is being reported that certain staff members have been given a 60 day notice whereas others are being offered positions at SOE. The DC Comics MMO hasn't been announced yet, so hopefully more will be revealed whenever SOE and Monolith make an official announcement. Looks like City of Heroes has a bit of competition while they battle Marvel in court.
