Webzen announced a two week delay before the open beta test of Sun. The beta will now begin on May 15th.

Soul of the Ultimate Nation, Reborn on May 15

Addition of a spacious field and Mission Competing System, 2 weeks delay in OB schedule

(2006-04-21) ?Soul of the Ultimate Nation (SUN)?, the most anticipated game for 2006, will be reborn as a next generation game with the introduction of a powerful Mission Competing System.

Webzen Inc. (CEO Nam Ju Kim, www.webzen.com) announced that the open beta test which was originally planned to commence on May 2, will be pushed back 2 weeks to May 15, with the full-scale introduction of the Mission Competing System.

Accordingly, the 2nd pre-open beta testing date will be adjusted to commence on May 8 to May 12.

Webzen CEO Nam Ju Kim stated, ?After the success of MU, as a leading company in this industry, we want to continue to lead the next generation games through SUN. Even taking into consideration all the risks associated with the service delay, we believe that through these new contents, we will be able to satisfy all the SUN users with high anticipation

In the SUN open beta test, not only a spacious field map will be added, but also a new concept of a detailed quest system will be introduced. Also, newly integrating the mission and competition elements as the main composition, the game will provide a ?survival mode?, which the users will have to compete which other in order to survive, and the ?time attack? mode, where the users will hunt as many monsters as possible during a limited time. The users will also be able to enjoy the vivid PvP element, and the ?ranking system? which will be provided regularly within the game.

The AC (Area Conquest) System, where the user can receive various benefits depending on the amount of contribution by the user in its corresponding area, is another factor the users will enjoy during the open beta.

Webzen is in the process of testing the open beta version of SUN, and is preparing the marketing promotion strategy for the grand open on May 15.
