Is this a really big development?
From twitch guru:
The Cyberathlete Professional League is getting into the development business. At its World Tour Championship Finals in Dallas, the CPL announced project Severity, which is a new multiplayer online game that will be used for CPL competitions.
Severity is a first-person shooter that will feature both solo and team play modes. "Severity will be the first videogame conceived from the ground up to ensure the growth and appeal of multiplayer game competitions worldwide," said Tom Mustaine, CPL's new Director of Game Development, said in a press statement. Mustaine, formerly studio director of Ritual Entertainment, is in charge of Severity's development. According to the CPL, Severity is built on technology created by developer id Software and will include enhanced tournament support, spectator modes, and detailed player and tournament statistics tracking.
Former id Software designer John Romero, who's also chairman of the CPL Advisory Board, recorded a video announcement that was shown in Dallas. "Guess what? The CPL's going to have their own shooter," Romero said in the video. "It's called Severity." Romero says the goal is to create the "ultimate PC shooter" for team and solo matches at CPL competitions.
The CPL expects to begin testing the new game with members of the video-gaming community before the end of 2007. The game will be available for both PCs and consoles, though the CPL hasn't announced which consoles yet.
