Heatwave Interactive: “not just another MMO company”

Heatwave Interactive] - Image 1And so, as of February 21, a new company announces to the world that it’s here, it exists, and it’s more than ready to jump into the world of MMO development. We’re talking about Heatwave Interactive. Spearheaded by two men who are no strangers to the industry, the company promises a new take on gaming. In other words, it wants everyone to know that it is “not just another MMO company”.

At the helm of this new venture are Anthony Castoro and Donn Clendenon. Castoro has had formidable experience in the field of game development, and is known for his work in titles such as Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies, as well as his involvement with games like D&D Online and ArchLord (the last two being part of his stint with Codemasters). Clendenon, on the other hand, has a solid background in finance and is the founder of the World Gaming Corporation.

With these two figures leading this venture, Heatwave Interactive‘s mission is clear, and this mission – in the words of its founders – is “to create original games that unite the power of online gaming with the excitement of traditional single-player video games.” Meanwhile, Clendenon also adds that “a vast opportunity exists for Heatwave which is dedicated to creating innovative character-based experiences.”

So can this newcomer really accomplish what it set out to do, and reinvent the face of MMO gaming? We’ll soon see.
