WEBZEN ANNOUNCES THE FIRST CLOSED BETA TEST FOR HUXLEY
TO START ON SEPTEMBER 13 Aug 22, 2007
August 22, 2007. Global online entertainment company WEBZEN Inc. (www.webzen.com) announced today the dates of
the much-anticipated first closed beta test for Huxley, the next-generation
MMOFPS. The closed beta test will start on September 13.
One of the year´s most anticipated titles, Huxley is the cutting-edge,
next-generation MMOFPS, fusing traditional FPS with the quest and character
growth system of the MMORPG. Being developed as a truly global game title for
Webzen, Huxley has already been creating a sensation in the markets in Europe
and North America with rave reviews and a 35 million deal with a Chinese
publisher.
After 999 lucky beta testers are selected from the official Huxley website
beginning on August 28, the closed beta test will take place from September 13
for five days. For the first time ever, testers will get a chance to experience
the city where the characters live and breath. They will also be treated to a
variety of play modes such as team death match and radar domination, as well as
the core systems, including the quest, not seen before in standard FPS
games.
"With Huxley´s many innovative elements, gamers are in for a totally
different experience," said Nam-Ju Kim, chief executive officer of Webzen, Inc.
"Huxley is sure to challenge the existing genres with a new look and feel in
multiple platforms. We´re extremely confident that this title will set a new
standard in MMOFPS."
Meanwhile, Webzen has been conducting various testing and external network
tests with a focus group since June to better gauge gamer preferences and
evaluate the game´s stability. The first closed beta test is a part of a planned
series of user tests.
