At an Austin press event last night, NCSoft announced that the sci-fi MMORPG Tabula Rasa will launch October 19. People who pre-order will get to play the game three days earlier, on October 16.
Originally announced back in 2001, the Richard Garriott-helmed project underwent a radical change several years into development, transforming from a fantasy role playing game to the combat-focused sci-fi game it is today.
