Masthead Studios was founded in 2005 in Bulgaria and is a game-development studio focused on creating next-generation MMORPGs. They are currently expanding development of their own project, Earthrise, which was released in Feb 2011. This is to fix many bugs and enhance player gameplay as when the game came out it was met with negative response.[1] It was announced in April 2009 that they would be developing a Fallout universe-based MMORPG.[2] On the 9th of January 2011 Bethesda Softworks announced, via their blog[3], that they had filed a lawsuit against Masthead Studios to "assert copyright infringement and other violations of Bethesda’s intellectual property rights". The lawsuit was settled on the 29th of December 2011 in which Masthead Studios acknowledged that "it has no legal right to use any Fallout intellectual property, and agrees it will not use any such intellectual property of Bethesda in the future."
