Codemasters to show off Dragon Empires

Codemasters is preparing to show off its Dragon Empires MMORPG at this year’s E3. This will be the first time (we think) that we’ll get to see how the game actually looks, as the screens released so far have exhibited a range of jaw-droppingly impressive and disappointingly mediocre shots.

E3 will also mark the first showing of some of the playable and non-playable characters, and the game’s impressive-sounding naturally evolving climatic systems which generate lightning, rain, snow, blizzards, shimmering water, rainbows, fog and even meteors.

Dragon Empires is expected to reach completion in 2004, but Codemasters is still accepting applications for beta testing, which is due to start this May.
