Vin Diesel Working On Punic Wars MMO

Vin Diesel's Tigon studio is working on an MMO set in the Punic Wars, Diesel revealed today.

Speaking to Destructoid, the actor was quizzed about his “dream project,” which turns out to be a game the studio is working on, titled Barca BC.

“The reason why it’s my dream game is because it is an MMO and -- remember you said funds were not an issue in this scenario, this is obviously a hugely expensive game -- but, it’s a massively multiplayer online game where you create an avatar that lives in the reality of Hannibal Barca, the Punic Wars and life 200 B.C,” stated Diesel.

“Creating an ancient world that is your 'Azeroth.' That is probably my dream scenario,” he continued. “When we talk about dream case scenarios, man, I would love to play as a Carthaginian soldier 200 years before Christ. Sailing around the Mediterranean, that’d be pretty damn cool. If you could add some historical elements to it, the better.”

The game has reportedly been in the works for quite some time, but it'll be awhile before we see anything of it. As the man himself puts it, “We are just in the first two or three years of putting it together. It could probably take another four years before we see that game.”

“But it is something that is something very high on my priority list of games we’re working on.”
