Huxley Finds New Publisher
Post Date: Jun 3, 2008
Category: Games -> MMO
When Webzen first debuted Huxley to great fanfare during the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo. At that time, the game garnered its fair share of attention thanks to the promise of addictive first-person shooter combat made even more so by massively multiplayer online role-playing game sensibilities.

However, though the MMOFPS was initially slated for release on the Xbox 360 and PC in 2006, development has taken far longer than Webzen initially anticipated. Details on how Huxley has been shaping up have been few and far between since GameSpot was given its last look at the game--way back in March 2007.

    Aldous Huxley? Did they name a game after an author?

      yes they did. this game originally looked very promising but i quickly lost interest when i learned it was geared in a "korean way" mmo wise.

      this long of development might be worth a second look though.

        Did it have any relation to the author or the work he did? o.O

          from what i remember it was just the title "brave new world" that made them think of him i believe. but there is no soma or anything in game.

      Yes, yes they did. I mean, Brave New World was about a technologically advanced utopia, and the game obviously has technology running rampant..maybe it's just a nod to the author.

        :giggle: I suppose so. Though, I think it's an interesting choice of author. I think it'll be interesting to see if anything from Huxley's work is incorporated (well) into the game; I imagine that a dystopia could be a pretty decent setting for a game.

          Yeah, I agree. I just haven't bothered to look at the site any more closely than just a glance yet to see if I'd want to play it and find out. x:
