<p><img alt="jumpgateevo.jpg" src="http://kotaku.com/assets/resources/2008/01/jumpgateevo.jpg" width="463" height="291" class="postimg center"/>Codemasters has finally pulled aside the velvet curtain that hid their <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://kotaku.com/345078/codemasters-to-reveal-new-mmo-in-march">mysterious new MMO</a> from view, revealing NetDevil's Jumpgate Evolution, which obviously must be standing in front of Codemasters' awesome, all-new game, seeing as we've known about the new Jumpgate since <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://kotaku.com/gaming/gallery/jumpgate-evolution-screens-271587.php">June of last year</a>, with NetDevil hinting at the new title as far back as <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://kotaku.com/gaming/jumpgate/jumpgate-getting-major-overhaul-223116.php">December 2006. </a> *peeks behind Jumpgate* Nope, that's it folks. I'd say that's an awfully crafty way to hide your brand new MMO, leaving it out in plain sight like that. Either way, Codemasters will be distributing the game throughout North America and Europe, with Codemasters Online handling the game's operation. Hit the jump for a press release that should have been titled "NetDevil Finds Publisher / European Partner For Jumpgate Evolution." </p><blockquote><strong>Codemasters Online Partners with NetDevil to Bring New MMO for 2008! </strong> <p>Codemasters Online set to release NetDevil's all-new space based MMORPG Jumpgate Evolution for North America / Europe. </p> <p>29th January (2pm GMT) - Codemasters Online have today unveiled their next generation MMORPG set for release in 2008, Jumpgate.
