Huxley gets new US publisher; to be released online late in 2008

We've been wondering for a long time about the status of Huxley, the long-in-development Unreal Engine 3 based sci-fi FPS MMO. The game was first announced by Korean publisher Webzen some time ago but little info on the game has been revealed since. Today there's some movement on the Huxley front, at least in the US, thanks to a press release from NHN USA announcing it will release Huxley in late 2008 for the PC in this country and in Western Europe.

According to the press release the game will be released via NHN USA's web portal ijji.com. While that web site offers free-to-play games, the actual business model for Huxley is up in the air, according to a story at Next Generation. This deal apparently only covers the PC version; a previously announced Xbox 360 version of Huxley is still in limbo in regards to a publishing deal.

I'll definitely be taking a wait and see approach with this one but hopefully it comes out right. I appreciate the fresh take on the MMO concept compared to all the craptastic everquest / wow clones out there.

Prepare yourself for the most de-hyped game ever!

One with a title that makes no sense!

And one that must contain the greatest net-code ever written to be playable!
