Känner du inte till #Star Vault så är det inget att skämmas för, det är nämligen ett nystartat företag med säte i Malmö. Bara för att de är färska på marknaden så innebär inte det att de är blyga eller vad sägs om att de har köpt en licens av #Epics Unreal Engine 3. Enligt den svenska utvecklarens pressmeddelande kommer motorn att användas för att utveckla ett MMORPG som ska släppas under 2009. Någon information om spelet som namn, tema eller plattformar finns dock inte, men vi ska givetvis hålla våra ögon och öron öppna.
