Fallen Earth: Welcome to the Apocalypse

The year is 2054, a deadly plague that will become known as the Shiva virus manifests in the region between India and Pakistan. Seeing the potential threat the United States begins converting the Hoover dam into a massive fortress, capable of self-supporting itself with no help from the outside world. One year later the situation deteriorates, years of volatile tempers and tense political differences between India and Pakistan ignite a horrific nuclear war. Each country blames the other for using biological warfare and the release of the Shiva plague. The resulting nuclear fallout throws dust, debris, radiation, and the Shiva virus itself into earth's atmosphere. There the virus mutates and descends onto the world again. Chaos and panic infect humankind along with the new plague. More nuclear attacks are launched all around the planet, in a matter of weeks civilization has collapsed and only a sparse number of secluded areas are capable of sustaining life. Over 90% of the earth's population are wiped out. The Shiva virus continues to mutate, but is now non-lethal and dormant in its hosts.

Years later, most of those still living have "Shiva's Touch" and are infected with some form of the plague. It is discovered that the new virus actually alters the human genome and can cause mutations to manifest in those with the sickness. These people gain abilities such as telekinesis and pyrokinesis.



It is One hundred years later, you awaken in a chamber inside the Hoover Dam Garrison. You are disoriented you don't know who you are....or where you are for that matter. You hear the faint sounds of gunshots from somewhere within the facility. A female voice crackles out of the intercom system and beckons you to the computer terminal not far from you. "Hurry we don't have much time!" urgency evident in the static voice.



Welcome to the world of Fallen Earth.



Fallen Earth is a new post-apocalyptic MMO from North Carolina based Icarus Studios. The game play mixes traditional role playing game elements with First Person Shooter style combat. Players will have 1,000 square kilometers of seamless landscape, now known as the Grand Canyon Province, to explore, fight, and scavenge in. In order to survive you will need to hunt scrap metal and recycled parts from the buildings, rubble, and rusty vehicles left behind by an era now past. You will use the spoils of your hunts to trade with others for sustenance, protection, and technology, as well as crafting over 95% of the games items. The path you choose will determine which of the games six factions become your trusted allies and which become your mortal enemies. This is Fallen Earth. I'm excited about it...Are you?
