The "World’s first massively multiplayer post apocalyptic car combat game" has hit Gold, and will be with us on the 13th of April. Whether it will create a new genre (The MMOPACCG) is another matter…

NCsoft^® Europe has confirmed that Auto Assault^® has reached gold master status, will have its retail release in both Europe and North America on 13th April, and will launch service simultaneously in both territories the same day. Customers who purchased and registered their pre-order for Auto Assault will receive the benefits of a special in-game weapon and loot bonus, plus a four-day head start for game play.

Auto Assault, the sixth major online game published by NCsoft, was developed by Colorado-based developer, NetDevil^®, LTD. The first massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) in a post apocalyptic setting, Auto Assault combines fast action with the depth of role-playing games and features fully destructible environments.
Auto Assault will go live simultaneously in North America and Europe on 13th April 13. Pre-order customers may participate in the four-day head start from 9th April.
"Auto Assault offers a brand new experience, combining the depth of traditional online role-playing games with the fast, frenetic pace of action games," said Geoff Heath, CEO of NCsoft Europe. "We are delighted that we can continue to follow the trend we set with Guild Wars by presenting Auto Assault simultaneously in both North America and Europe, ensuring that our players can enjoy the fastest game around from day one."

In Auto Assault, players can choose to be a Human, Mutant or Biomek character and set out in a post apocalyptic land in personalised combat vehicles, fighting for the few resources left on a shattered Earth. Combat is extremely fast-paced and challenges abound as players blast through buildings, set fire to forests, and level entire settlements. Player avatars may own many different vehicles, specialise in several crafting disciplines to create truly unique items, and participate in player-versus-player battles both in arena combat and in contested outpost areas.
