Some of you may have heard of the MMOPvP game, going by the name of Fury set to launch this year for the PC. The game is currently under development over at Australian game developer, Auran. The guys down under needed a publisher for the title, as you can imagine and so, they've chosen Russian developer and publisher Akella, which they've revealed to the press under the form of an official announcement just a little while ago.

"We have had an excellent partnership with Auran in the past and are honored to be the Russian publisher of Fury, a game that will be excellent for our market which has lots of hardcore and very competitive players that want the best entertainment," says Alexander Kozhevnikov, Head of Akella Online.

According to the official report, Fury is free-to-play with a revolutionary business model that is tailored for both casual and hardcore players. Gamers can play for free and compete effectively or subscribe for additional services. Auran is careful to point out that subscribing players will have no advantages in combat over free players.

The game already sounds promising as it is being built using Epic's Unreal Engine 3, set to provide PC gamers with the ultimate PvP experience, combining both MMORPG elements and the fast-paced action of an FPS. There is also a unique matchmaking system tied to the game, which ensures that battles are fair and evenly contested.

It has also been confirmed that players will be able to mix and match any combination of over 400 abilities available in the game to create multiple and diverse versions of their Avatars, switching them around at will between Warzone battles.

OK then, keeping in mind that Fury launches in October this year, anxious gamers waiting for a hands on experience with the game should know that Auran has also confirmed 'Fury Challenge', the game's beta, set to launch within the final weeks of September. And this is not even the best part. The best part is that players will be given the chance to compete for over a million dollars worth of prizes.
