5 Boroughs
5 Boroughs is an MMORPG based in 1930-1960′s America (with a New York City look and feel) utilizing the Unity game engine. Players control newly docked immigrants looking to make a name for themselves. While climbing up the social, political, and economical ladders, players will not only direct their character’s progress, but that of the world at large. We’re hoping to create a fun and attractive game that provides learning opportunities using the historical context and events.
