The World Online (working title) is an upcoming MMORPG from developer Funcom, makers of Anarchy Online and Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.

The premise of The World Online is as follows:

set in 2023
aliens
supernatural
Contrary to some rumors, this game has nothing to do with (nor is it inspired by) .hack.[1]

A teaser trailer for the game was produced and the Norwegian newspaper IT-Avisen had the following to say about it:

The trailer contained a few short scenes with in-game graphics, but consisted mostly of a barrage of teasing one liners shown in rapid succession on the screen, with wording like "The Quest for the Grail continues", "Aliens have landed on our planet. They are still here", and "There is an afterlife".
"The action is set to the year 2023, in our on world. but the world isn't exactly how it appears to be. The game is full of inspiration and references to anything from Dan Brown to Harry Potter", said Funcom's Product Director Jørgen Tharaldsen.
that's from wiki
