Interplay Loses Rights to Make a Fallout MMO

Should a Fallout MMO ever be made, don't expect to see Interplay's name on it. A settlement has been agreed to in the lawsuit between Bethesda and Interplay which results in the latter's license to create such a game being nullified. Bethesda parent company ZeniMax Media announced the details of the settlement today, and it sounds if it largely got what it was seeking.

Rumors of a Fallout MMO from Interplay began circulating way back in 2006. The existence of the game was confirmed in 2008 along with word that one of the franchise's original creators, Christopher Taylor, would be involved with its development.
