Huxley Launching Late 2008 in North America news from 1UP.com
Quote:
It's been a while since we've heard anything official about Huxley, the genre-defying MMO which ambitiously promises a twitch-action hybridization of classic FPS run-and-gun gameplay with the customization and tweaking/twinking elements commonly associated with standard MMOs.
Last we heard, 999 lucky Koreans were hard at work beta testing the game's infrastructure in some very closed-door quality assurance operations. Thankfully these endeavors seem to have borne profitable fruit, as Korean MMO publisher NHN just announced an intention to distribute Huxley to North American audiences in late 2008 through the U.S. arm of their operations: NHN USA.
"Huxley is one of the most anticipated online games currently in development, and we are very excited to bring the triple-A title to Western audiences," commented Whon Namkoong, CEO of NHN USA Inc. "Huxley provides gamers with a unique and compelling experience that gamers everywhere are sure to enjoy. The revolutionary online shooter is a welcome addition to ijji.com, the site where millions of fans can play it later this year."
While the company's decision to host the game through their own 6-million-users-strong portal shouldn't come as a surprise, it is interesting to note that the official literature only specifically mentions a PC release during that time period, leaving us to wonder whether or not the Xbox 360 version will be coming in the same time period or at all.
Those wishing to learn more about Huxley's gritty world and the Alternative vs. Sapien vs. Hybrid conflict contained therein are advised to head on over to 1UP's preview for a little preemptive recon.
