The independent team at Above and Beyond Technologies have taken on the ambitious task of developing a sci-fi MMORPG entitled The Repopulation. The overview spells out the team's goals for implementing "revolutionary" features to what has become an otherwise stale genre (including a focus on non-combat skills, city construction and sieges, and boss monsters that have different abilities every time you fight them), while the early screenshots once again showcase the power of Simutronics/Idea Fabrik's HeroEngine.

The wait is now over as The Repopulation goes live with a new website, a new public Discord channel, and instructions on how to re-enter the sandbox.

The MMO Alpha and Beta list is the most complete list of pre-launch events in the MMO industry. This week's news covers the return of The Repopulation, a new Beta event for Lawbreakers, and a new look for sandbox MMO Shards Online.

Initial details of The Repopulation relaunch are shared on the game's forums as the team transfers game data over to Steam and readies internal testing.
