AUSTIN, TX September 8, 2008 -- Stray Bullet Games, an independent developer of massively multiplayer online entertainment, announced today that its upcoming undisclosed MMO will be published and operated in and across Asia by Neowiz Games, the Korean-owned publisher of online games. Neowiz Games has a proven track record successfully operating MMOs throughout Asia; their experience makes them an ideal partner in this territory.
"Obviously, we are pleased to have a publishing partner with so much experience operating online games within their territory," says Mark Nausha, President and CEO. "Their proven track record will enable us to provide the best possible user experience for our Asian players."
Stray Bullet Games has not disclosed any details about their upcoming MMO, but has confirmed that the title is based on an original intellectual property conceived and developed entirely in-house. Stray Bullet Games is committed to creating a fully-realized, ongoing MMO battle experience that combines action with tactical and strategic game play. In the upcoming game, individual characters, guilds, and global factions engage in mass combat that is meaningful, exciting, and above all fun. To realize their vision, the team is drawing upon their development experience, the lessons learned developing and supporting Shadowbane, and is looking outside the MMO genre for inspiration in creating innovative features and systems.
