THQ has announced it has signed CrimeCraft, a MMO powered by Unreal Engine 3 and developed by Vogster Entertainment. CrimeCraft is set in a gritty fictional city of the near future, following an ecological disaster of unprecedented scale, where the price of life is far less valuable than one's reputation. You will join thousands of players online as you learn the rules of the street, build your own gang and do whatever it takes to survive amidst the chaos. CrimeCraft is scheduled to ship across North America in August 2009.
