WEBZEN TO SHOWCASE DIVERSE WORLD-CLASS MMOG LINE-UP AT 2006 E3 EXPO

Global online entertainment company WEBZEN Inc. (NASDAQ: WZEN) announced today its lineup of PC and next generation massively multiplayer online games (MMOG) for showcase at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles from May 10-12, 2006.  

WEBZEN will focus this year’s exhibition on a diverse showing of MMOGs that include the epic fantasy MMO role-playing game (MMORPG) Soul of the Ultimate Nation (SUN), MMO first person shooter Huxley, and the mass-appeal casual MMORPG Project Wiki.  All titles leverage WEBZEN’s world class online game design and client/server technologies, pushing the boundaries of today’s MMOG offerings.  Visitors to WEBZEN’s booth – #1300 in the South Hall – will have the opportunity to play hands-on versions of all three titles. 

Soul of the Ultimate Nation is the much anticipated MMORPG that delivers more fun and more friends in less time.  Players can form a party from thousands of gamers using Soul of the Ultimate Nation’s Battle Zone System and embark on a graphically stunning and ever-expanding online fantasy world that is ready for action when the players are.  With unique battle systems and a captivating cast of characters, Soul of the Ultimate Nation is an epic tale in a world of emperors, armies, magicians and monsters.  Soul of the Ultimate Nation will be available for PC. 

Huxley is a massively multiplayer online first person shooting game (MMOFPS) utilizing the UNREAL3 engine to create an unparalleled twitch action gaming experience with up to 5,000 players in the same world.  Huxley takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where human beings have mutated and are divided into two opposing races, Sapiens and Alternative.  At the center of the battle for survival is Lunarites, a promising new energy source highly coveted by both races. Forced to battle against one another for the continuance of each race, Sapiens and Alternatives will do whatever it takes to wipe out the opposition and gain control of the world and its resources. Huxley will be available for PC and the Xbox 360.
 
Project Wiki is a casual, fairy tale based MMORPG with intense levels of cooperative interaction.  The relationships and actions of each individual player directly influence the entire Project Wiki world and all of its elements.  Project Wiki incorporates an adaptive system enabling the decisions players make in quests and missions to contribute to the individual personalities of characters, including what they wear and their facial expressions.  Project Wiki will deliver a lively, creative and interactive online game play experience in a whimsical and charming environment for PC.
 
Executives from WEBZEN and WEBZEN America and members of the development teams will be on hand to take meetings May 10-12 at the company’s booth (#1300) located in the South Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center.  WEBZEN welcomes press and prospective business partners to schedule meetings in advance or to visit the booth.
