Tanarus was a 1997 online-only multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed by Verant Interactive and published by Sony Interactive Studios America for Windows. It is unusual for not being released on any PlayStation console, despite Sony Computer Entertainment owning the rights to the game. Originally titled Armorgeddon, Verant was forced to change the name when another game with that name was discovered. It was released in late 1997.[2] Verant would later gain recognition by developing EverQuest for Sony Online Entertainment. The game was included in Sony Online Entertainment's Station Exchange program in 2007, and shut down on June 10, 2010.[3]
