THQ and Vogster Entertainment have announced what they are calling a persistent world next-gen shooter called CrimeCraft for the PC. I guess adding craft to the end of an online MMO game makes them feel more successful. The game is set to ship in August and will be sold exclusively at Best Buy.

The game merges elements of a shooter game with an MMORPG title to bring something that sounds a little like the epic fail that was PlanetSide. The game is said to mix fantasy and sci-fi themes into the mix.

Players who pre-order the game starting on May 31st online will get two free in game t-shirts and a combat backpack for their character. Those who pre-order will also be allowed into the game beta launch. The game will have monthly fees for playing, but the game comes with two months free play.
