FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

March 2, 2010 – Redwood City, Calif. - Perfect World Entertainment Inc., a wholly owned US subsidiary of Perfect World Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: PWRD), today unveiled the new teaser site for Forsaken World, confirming that this behemoth title will be coming to North America. Formerly developed under codename Project EM and previously announced in China, Forsaken World is an all new 3D fantasy MMORPG that breaks new ground by bringing together the best of eastern and western cultures.

“Forsaken World highlights our commitment to bringing the highest quality, free-to-play gaming experience to North America.

This is the teaser site.  fw.perfectworld.com/intro

Perfect World always did have a good head on their shoulders. They tend to bring games that many gamers can relate to; such as Perfect World International. Games that are good, that bring Eastern and Western types of content with them.

I expect no less from their current project.

~Miles "Tails" Prower out! Catch me if you can!

Any chance of being told the release date?

Since it's only a localization of the game.

hehe.  I saw the vampire class to, chuckled, and thought it's going to be an interesting blend.

Judging by their flash site alone, it looks like an interesting game.  The armor and weapon designs seen in the concept are look like quite the undertaking.  And judging by the video they released, the western style is very apparent (Love the burtality).

As far as artistic style in the screenshots, I'm not sure how keen I am on the city design, but the world looks pretty nice.

Their class line up and race lineup are interesting, but not enough of the game's features are apparent on the website, nor is the story.  I would like to hear a little more about it, in the meantime, maybe a beta signup is worth it.

I liked Perfect World for awhile I must admit but it ultimately didn't grab me enough to stay.Every other game this company has released I have tried and to me felt like Perfect World reskinned with maybe one or two game mechanic changes.SO I'm a little skeptical about this game but will probably giv eit a chance as the company does at least release finished and polished games.

And that is why we love thhis genre

One question,what is a Wholly owned Subsidiary?When one says wholly owned it sounds to me that they are 100% owned,yet the term subsidiary tells me they are still run by a parent company.It sounds more like buying a franchise,but you really don't own a franchise,your just a manager in sense.I have heard this phrase used a lot ,i would just like it cleared up for me.

For good reason of course,i don't like leadership from anything over seas except from Square Enix,all the Korean developers imo are sketchy at best.If this is a USA owned and totally free to run the game as they wish,then it earns a lot more credibility..instantly.

Bloodaxes

Would love if they upgrade or make another game with more advanced features of ether saga hehe but this doesn't look that bad.

But 1 thing for sure looks weird a vampire using a cross as weapon lol.

arcdevil

I have to admit the quality of the F2P titles is rising like a phoenix as of late

 

still that cant make me forget their biggest flaw...cash shop and underaged morons everywhere.

so I have to say (a bit saddened for the first time ever) that I will steer clear from this.

wow. . .i received a beta key for signing up, or at least a key for drawing, but "Congratulations, you have activated your beta key for Forsaken World!" at least is pretty cool.

 It might cut down on the vampire RP in Goldshire now. Er, not that I do that. Much.
