Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Gaikai are partnering up to launch the world's first "Cloud-Based" Streaming MMO.
In a press-release sent out by Warner Brothers Interactive the company announced its plans to partner with Gaikai Inc, a cloud gaming service, to start streaming 'The Lord of The Rings Online' and 'Dungeons & Dragons Online' right from each game's own website.
This will mark the first time an MMO will be run from the cloud, without the need for any download or installation. The Lord of the Rings Online (seen on the right) is available to North America right now, Dungeons & Dragons Online will be released "soon".
Players will have to register in a simple "one-step registration process" then can play the free-to-play title, in its "full-version".
"MMOs have always been one of the key genres that we've wanted to deliver via the cloud – never before has it been possible to play MMOs in this way," said Robert Stevenson, EVP at Gaikai. "And we couldn't be more pleased to showcase Gaikai's technology by streaming Dungeons & Dragons Online and The Lord of the Rings Online, which are both fantastic multiplayer gaming experiences with legions of loyal fans."
"Gaikai's game streaming service will make it easier than ever for new players to start their epic adventures in our immersive online worlds," said Craig Alexander, Vice President of Product Development, Turbine. "Anyone wishing to try these popular MMOs can now instantly launch the games inside their web browser completely eliminating any download wait times."
