But the scope and thrust of the project can be gleaned from a visit to 38 Studios and a look at the partners the firm has signed up.

A stroll through the company's offices revealed hundreds of sketches of creatures who seem to have come from central casting in Middle Earth. The designers are currently planning for 12 species or "races" in the game, and while they may not be called elves or orcs or dragons, there's certainly a family resemblance

Although the company will show off one or two pieces of "concept art" from the game at Thursday's Comic-Con convention in San Diego, officials refused to provide any images to the Globe. And no one will talk about the basic storyline of the game, or even its title. "If you completely open the door and show everybody what the whole thing is, especially when we're going to deliver something three years from now, then we're doing everybody a disservice," said 38 Studios president Brett Close, a veteran of gaming giant Electronic Arts Inc.

A tiny tidbit of information in there .. 12 races hmm?
