To work on a new RPG project, Interplay restarted Black Isle Studios. Taking in a project previously worked on by Masthead Studios, Black Isle Studios began work on Project V13; something of a lawyer-friendly version of the cancelled ''Fallout Online''. To fund the game, Black Isle launched the Black Isle Mayan Apocalypse Replacement Program. The campaign was negatively received, due to a lack of rewards beyond access to a proposed forum and the end product being a prototype. All references to Project V13 have later been removed without any comment or refund, and nothing else has been heard from it again. In 2016, Interplay sold off all of its video game IPs, putting an end to the revived Black Isle.

To work on a new RPG project, Interplay restarted Black Isle Studios. Taking in a project previously worked on by Masthead Studios, Black Isle Studios began work on Project V13. It scrapped most of the ideas and development made by Masthead, and decided to take the game in a different direction. Black Isle launched the Black Isle Mayan Apocalypse Replacement Program. Press response to the campaign was generally negative, noting a lack of rewards, beyond access to a proposed forum for contributors to the campaign, no indication of funding goals, and the end product being a prototype, not an actual product. All references to Poject V13 have since been removed without any comment or refund. Nothing else have been heard from it since.
