Webzen announced today that they´ve snagged the well-known composer Kevin Riepl to work on their upcoming MMOG, Huxley.

Huxley, the highly anticipated twitch-action massively multiplayer online first-person shooting (MMOFPS) game, now has a dramatic orchestral soundtrack to compliment the game´s creative and immersive post-apocalyptic storyline and intense game play. Global online entertainment company Webzen, Inc. (NASDAQ: WZEN) announced today that acclaimed composer Kevin Riepl has scored the soundtrack for the upcoming sci-fi adventure. A renowned musical composer for multiple entertainment genres, Riepl´s previous videogame credits include the commercial blockbuster Gears of War, the massively multiplayer online role-playing game City of Villains and the first-person shooters Unreal Championship 2 and Unreal Tournament 2004, among many others.

"I am really proud to have the opportunity to work on Huxley, an awesome game with a lot of different themes and influences that required a gripping soundtrack," said Riepl. "The music will bring players closer to the game in every aspect of Huxley, from the large and relatively peaceful cities to the immersive player-versus environment quests and the intense player-versus-player massive battles."

"We can now add immersive and dramatic music to the creative multi-cultural art style, compelling Unreal Engine 3.0 graphics and unique game design as some of the many ways that Huxley is sure to resonate with players," said Kijong "KJ" Kang, producer for Webzen. "Kevin captured the exact musical feel we wanted Huxley players to experience while unfolding the epic story and engaging in the game´s fierce battles."
