Webzen announces a trio of new titles

by Justin Olivetti on Mar 17th 2011 1:00PM

Korean publisher Webzen is preparing to blitz MMO players with a slew of new titles in 2011. First up is Archlord X: The Chronicles, a sequel of sorts to the company's popular Archlord. Set 100 years after the first game, Archlord X revolves around a feud between Orcs and Humans. Webzen plans to push the MMO into closed beta in South Korea in the first half of this year.

Webzen also announced that it has several brand-new titles that the company is planning to reveal fairly soon, perhaps at G-star. These MMOs include an expansion to MU Online, MU2, and the mysteriously titled Project A.

MU2 is being developed using the Unreal Engine 3 and takes place before the events of MU Online. Project A, on the other hand, is all about large-scale battles in the Middle Ages -- perhaps somewhat like Medieval: Total War.

We'll be keeping an eye on Webzen as it expands its lineup in the coming months!

MU2?

I believe it's spelt Mewtwo.

@Dril

That may be a bit corny, but I won't lie: I am laughing my @$$ off right now lol.

I'd like to hear more about Project A :)
Not sure if Webzen can develop such a title "like" medieval total war, or that was a very wild guess.

And us Huxley people are left with nothing...

I thought webzen is done with developing online games already...
Their games was never, hm, addicting. At least for me.

Orcs vs humans? What a unique concept.

Maybe they should finish developing the games on their list before trying to hype more, like say Huxley which isnt even on their "in development list for some reason and then the 3 that are- Continent of the Ninth, Reign of Revolution and Battle Territory.Not that I am interested in anything on their list except for Huxley and Continent of the Ninth but it is starting to give me the impression of throwing as much stuff thru the assembly line as quick as possible rather than taking the time to make quality titles.

PLEASE Massively (Engadget, all other AOL blogs) change the links to look different so I know if I'm clicking on a link to the official site (which is what I want to do) or clicking on a link that brings me to articles tagged by the keyword (which is uberly frustrating).
