Codemasters Online today announced an agreement with Game Factory Interactive for the publishing of Jumpgate Evolution in Russia, former USSR countries and the Baltic Region. The game will be fully localised for the Russian territories with Game Factory Interactive publishing and operating the game across the region. Jumpgate Evolution features a new rendering engine, engaging and responsive AI, as well as several new missions across multiple types including: combat, patrols, mining, and delivery. It will also feature a new user interface and engaging PvP system with factional peace and war rating, significantly affecting game dynamics.

LEGO Universe developer NetDevil has apparently laid off a large number of staff, with stories already circulating that the company has been closed.
GamePron is still searching for an official statement from NetDevil or parent company Gazillion, but studio founder and former president Scott Brown has called out to his former colleagues via social media.

Hit-Reset's Davejm takes a look at what has happened to the highly anticipated follow up to Jumpgate.

Remember Jumpgate Evolution? The space based MMO that promised some amazing space combat. So where is Jumpgate Evolution? This is the question Codemasters have been asking and so far they're still without a game. Legal action us now underway.
