G4BOX To Bring the Record-Setting Military
Shooter To the Western Markets Fall 2008
G4BOX Inc announced today that it has signed a
publishing deal with Neowiz to bring its award-winning Online FPS game, Cross
Fire, to North America and the United Kingdom. Under the terms of the
partnership, the game will launch in the above-mentioned markets in the fall of
2008.
"We are proud that Neowiz chose G4BOX to bring
this leading FPS to North American and U.K. gamers," said Howard He, Chief
Executive Officer of G4BOX. "Cross Fire is an innovative and compelling FPS and
we look forward to making it a major success."
A military online shooter game for the PC, Cross
Fire is developed by Smilegate. Cross Fire is the role model of a first person
shooter game with stable and powerful action as well as a strategic battle map.
The game boasts sophisticated graphics and a unique system which allows the game
to run smoothly even on low-end PCs. The game has proven to be a huge success in
Korea where it first launched in 2007.
Additional servers had to be added within one
hour of the game going live due to the amount of traffic and people playing the
game. In mid-March of this year, Cross Fire was the first FPS to launch its open
beta in Vietnam. Within three days of the launch, the number of Cross Fire
concurrent users reached 62,000 with more than 1.09 million subscribers in
total.
"G4BOX is an excellent partner to bring Cross
Fire to western gamers," said Won IL SUH, Senior Vice President of Neowiz. We
are sure their expertise and publishing experience will help establish Cross
Fire as a leading FPS that will truly excite the market."
The two companies will soon release more
information and product details about the game for the western markets. For more
