Archlord set for North American and European launch in Autumn 2006...
With an ever-mounting list of MMORPGs, Codemasters has today announced that it is to distribute under its Codemasters Online Gaming label, the Korean developed Archlord, an MMO with the unique feature allowing a single player to rule the gameworld. Set in the world of Kantra, Archlord presents an adventure where gamers have to come together and search for the relics of the Archons, which when combined, bestows the ultimate power upon a single Archlord.
Developed using Renderware with music recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra, Archlord will also feature what is described as one of the most complex PvP systems in an MMO including guild versus guild battles. Archlord is set currently being run as an open Beta in Korea and is currently set for a third quarter 2006 release.
David Solari, Director of Codemasters Online Gaming, commented "ArchLord is an incredibly important signing for Codemasters Online Gaming and NHN has delivered an amazing world and a unique player objective. This incredible feature, where players compete to become the Archlord and personally shape the game world, has never been seen before in any MMO. It's sure to capture the imaginations of Western gamers and make Archlord a landmark MMO launch for 2006."
Jung Hwan Kim, Senior Manager of Overseas Business Team at NHN Games commented, "We are overjoyed to be working with the online gaming division at Codemasters to bring ArchLord to Western gamers. Codemasters has a proven pedigree in PC publishing and massive ambitions in the MMO sector with a great team that we were keen to work with on such an important next-generation MMO title as ArchLord."
"We are extremely pleased to add ArchLord to our ever growing and exciting MMO portfolio," said Ed Relf, Head of Marketing for Codemasters Online Gaming. "ArchLord is a fresh take on the MMO genre, bringing incredible key new features and mixing them with already popular elements that appeal to both a new wave of players and established MMO gamers."
So what next for Codemasters, and how long will it be before they change their name to Blizzard?
We'll have more soon...
