Fallout MMO Proposal Detailed, Budgeted at $75 Million - Shacknews:

In 2004, Bethesda announced that it had licensed from faltering publisher Interplay the rights to make additional games based on the acclaimed post-apocalyptic RPG series Fallout. Just prior to that, Interplay had announced that it would be retaining the rights to produce an MMO set in the Fallout world. Now, Interplay has filed a proposal to the SEC detailing specific financial plans for such an MMO. The project is estimated at a total of $75 million, with $5 million for preproduction, $40 million for production, and $30 million for the launch. Development is stated to begin in January 2007, with the game launching in July 2010.
