Webzen has confirmed in its Q2 2007 financial report that it will be holding beta trials for MMOFPS Huxley later this year. According to the report, a closed beta trial is due to commence towards the end of this quarter, with a public beta trial to follow either towards the end of 2007 or in early 2008.
Player Affinity: "Although many MMO-style games try to ape World of Warcraft’s success and formula, there are relatively few quality FPS titles that venture into the MMO arena. Planetside was one moderately successful title in this vein, but often was regarded as too sterile and uncoordinated. Hellgate: London tried it as well to little triumph. With these remnants of titles still kicking around, is there any chance of a MMOFPS that gets it right? Hopefully, Webzen Inc.’s Huxley can fill those shoes. Huxley has been in development for several years and recently expanded to open beta; it will attempt to bridge the gap between modern shooters and the expansive world of MMORPGs like World of Warcraft."
Huxley, a first-person MMO, was first announced way back at E3 2005. The game utilized Unreal Engine 3 and was supposed to come to both Xbox 360 and PC. Things have changed since then, of course. Huxley has gone through numerous delays and the console version has been put on hold indefinitely.
