Perfect World Announces
English-based MMORPG "Ether Saga Online"
First Gameplay Images and Teaser
Trailer Released Today via New Website
Perfect World Entertainment Inc. ("PWE"
or the "Company"), a wholly owned US subsidiary of Perfect World Co., Ltd.,
today announced the Company will introduce a new MMORPG entitled "Ether Saga
Online" in 2009. "Ether Saga Online" is the English-based version of "KDXY," one
of the newest and most popular titles released by Perfect World Beijing. "Ether
Saga Online" combines lavish graphics with a young anime style. It features a
slew of unique features and systems that make the game truly one of a kind.
Unlike other MMORPG games that
charge subscription fees, "Ether Saga Online" will be ‘Free-To-Play." Once
inside the game world, players can earn and spend money to upgrade a large
variety of items to enhance their game play experience.
"We are very encouraged by the
growing interest in Free-to-Play games within the North American marketplace, as
evidenced by the continued success of our recently launched title, Perfect World
International," said Dr. Alan Chen, CEO of Perfect World Entertainment Inc. "We
are looking forward to the introduction of Ether Saga Online as it underscores
our commitment to this audience by offering an entirely new, high quality gaming
experience."
To coincide with the announcement,
Perfect World Entertainment has released the first gameplay images and a teaser
trailer via its official website,
http://www.perfectworld.com. The newly launched website features additional
gameplay details on "Ether Saga Online" as well as other Perfect World
Entertainment titles such as "Perfect World International."
