Frogster Interactive Pictures today revealed details regarding its sub-license sale of The Chronicles of Spellborn. Partnering with Excite Japan, the company is looking to make their game a large property in Asia.

Excite will pay an advance license of 1.2 million for the exclusive MMO marketing rights in Japan, with guarantee for a percentage of running gross profit and an additional bonus on all revenues exceeding roughly 20 million.

Excite hopes to bring in roughly 100,000 The Chronicles of Spellborn players in Japan for a monthly revenue of roughly ?1.5 million. This would bring Frogster Studios an estimated 4 to 5 million on a yearly basis.

The company said the license deal "is one of the largest closings for a single product for the territory of Japan in the history of PC games." Frogster Studios also owns the license for China, Korea and other Asian countries.
