Now, when the market is flooded with MMO games for all tastes, the developers are looking for ways to interest the audience is their product. Sometimes you can work the effect of novelty, when it is possible to come up with an original concept. This is, frankly, quite difficult in such conservative genre as a multiplayer online role-playing game, and besides, it’s always a big risk, and the success of such enterprises unpredictable. In addition, choosing to install, the user sees dozens that say nothing to him of pictograms, which is impossible to determine what will play and in what genre, and reading reviews and watching videos takes a lot of time.
Another proven way is to take a popular franchise with a long-established fan base, which guarantees at least the curiosity and desire to try.

Recently, a young Polish Studio has released a hardcore survival game in the genre of MMO Sandbox “Edengard” inspired by the aesthetics and style of the series “Mad Max”. The name of the other multiplayer online strategy “Last Empire – War Z”, purposely or not, refers to the apocalyptic zombie Thriller “world War Z” with brad pitt.

For example, already mentioned above, the company Plarium in may 2017 introduced MMO strategy movies about terminator “Terminator Genisys: Future War”. In it the player finds himself in the midst of a war of machines against people and chooses whether to fight him on the side of Skynet or support the rebels. No matter which faction will join the user in any case he will not compete with artificial intelligence and with real people, the same players as him. This is the special appeal of the genre is the ability to cooperate, to seek allies, to chat, to work out a joint tactic. Given that the first film of the franchise was released in 1984 and the last in 2015, it’s safe to say that the game will attract the attention of representatives of different generations. Besides, should please free installation on your mobile device.
Of course, the tendency to use popular movies is not new, back in 2005, fans couldn’t tear myself away from the game “The Matrix Online”, unfortunately, ceased to exist four years later. The game began with the fact that it was necessary to choose as the hero of a classic film, what pill to eat: red to break free from the Matrix, or the blue to continue to live in an unreal world. Not only for lack of fresh ideas running belt popular franchises in Hollywood. The fact that an endless stream of people going to the movies from the “Star wars” or “Star trek”. Ended the trilogy “the Lord of the rings”, it does not matter – has Mature plans to shoot “the Hobbit” (the latter film was released in 2014). And the universe of Marvel is expanding like our universe. In all of these kinoistoriya made a high quality MMO game: “Star Wars: The Old Republic”, “Star Trek Online”, “The Lord of The Rings Online” and “Marvel Heroes”.
