True Games Interactive was founded in January 2008 on the premise that online gamers deserved better. The first order of business for delivering a high-quality player experience was to partner with a world-class developer. In February, True Games and Petroglyph Studios committed to work together on a new kind of micro-transaction based MMO. By May, renowned European publisher, GOA shared the vision and committed to work with True Games. In August, UTV, a global media and entertainment company based in India, not only partnered with True Games but made a major equity investment. True Games is based in Orange County, California and is preparing to release its first title in 2009.
