[NXEU] [U11] Nexon Europe Announces United Eleven

Luxembourg – April 8, 2014 – Today, Nexon Europe has the pleasure to announce its latest title, United Eleven, a browser-based, mobile-compatible game that combines actual names and faces of players registered with FIFPro and a license of Bundesliga clubs, with the most sophisticated match engine available.

Developed by NHN BlackPick Corporation, United Eleven lets players build their squad from over 50,000 footballers, officially licensed by FIFPro and global IP rights to the Bundesliga. Players can create the complete football management experience by boosting squads, recruiting players to improve and evolve stats, and overseeing the gameplay.

For the comprehensive managing simulation, the game offers simple but authentic interaction of football play. This includes full control of tactics, formation, and lineup, as well as consideration of the chemistry between players in the squad and how that will impact overall performance. From the start, United Eleven sets players in the position of absolute control. Matches can be played out in real time, with the ability to make strategic decisions in any moment of the game, thanks to the advanced football simulation engine.

“United Eleven offers players with the perfect way to feed their football cravings off the pitch, with an easy-to-access format, mobile support, and the official FIFPro and Bundesliga licenses,” said Kenny Chang, CEO of Nexon Europe. “We’re excited to see football fans across the continent take advantage of this intuitive and casual football management simulation, offering professional strategic gameplay.”

United Eleven is a browser-based, mobile-compatible game, eliminating unnecessary installation times. Players can make their decisions and tactical adjustments at any time with a PC, smartphone, or tablet.

Nexon Europe is looking forward to the beta test in May, and the game will be serviced in 8 languages: English, German, French, Italian, Polish, Spanish, Portuguese, and Turkish. The game will be published in Europe, North and South America, Oceania, and North Africa.

[AO] Nexon Europe To Launch English Client for Atlantica Europe

After years of the successful service of Atlantica Online in the European market in the languages of French and German, Nexon Europe will launch an English client for the game. The new client will be launched alongside the upcoming Empires of Gold game update.

“The German – and French-based servers have seen enormous success and we look forward to echoing that throughout the rest of Europe”, says Marc Mehlitz, Product Manager, Nexon Europe. “Part of the joy of making games like Atlantica is bringing so many enthusiastic gamers together into one imaginative space. We’re thrilled that we can do that across Europe with the launch of the English service, while also providing a massive content update that will benefit existing players as well as new ones.”

I had for long been wondering why the English service of the game published by Nexon America was not more integrated into the European market since no IP block has ever been in effect for either of Nexon America or Nexon Europe’s services. This would mirror the setup which existed when Atlantica was still published by Ndoors Games and would have long allowed Europeans to play the game in English and would also give Americans easier access to the German and French clients.

 

[NXEU] Nexon Europe To Publish Lost Saga

Lost Saga was previously published in North America and Europe by OGPlanet but service termination was unexpectedly announced for December 8, 2013. Z8Games, the publisher of the popular CrossFire, will take over North American service on December 18, 2013.

Nexon Europe will be taking Lost Saga back into the European market in 2014. The game will be serviced in English, German, French, Italian, Polish and Turkish with closed beta beginning in the first half  of 2014.

Lost Saga is an online multiplayer brawler game developed by I.O. Entertainment and licensed by WeMade Entertainment. The enormous cast of characters comprises of the most famous figures from across the ages, from Robin Hood to modern day ninja warriors, meshing together fantasy, sci-fi, and popular culture in a glorious party title for up to 16 players to simultaneously battle it out online.

Lost Saga’s heroes are all customisable, allowing players to personalise their experience at a new level as they battle with friends over an assortment of urban, natural, and mystical environments – which can all be experienced without spending any extra money.

“We’re incredibly pleased to have this prestigious title added to our already large and varied collection,” said Kenny Chang, Managing Director at NEXON Europe. “Lost Saga is an easy to learn, difficult to master game. Fast-paced, high action, and fun-packed gameplay with 100 different well-balanced offensive and defensive characters will provide unique experiences in every single play. I believe our players will relish in this great addition to the NEXON Europe family.”

Battles in Lost Saga come in all sizes and types. In Crown Control mode, heroes must defend their team’s crown from their enemies, while in Prisoner mode, players can capture their opponents on the field of battle. Power Stone mode challenges players to protect their skills by keeping their Power Stone safe, and Boss Raid mode gives one hero the ultimate advantage as he becomes the boss that his opponents must destroy.

The armor and weapons in Lost Saga are each associated with specific skills, and players who are prevailing in battle can claim their opponents’ armor and weapons, along with the accompanying skills, as their own. An innovative character-swap system lets players switch out characters from their full arsenal of heroes in the middle of battle to change tactics and bash out massive combos. Thousands of skill combinations and variations make Lost Saga an ever-changing battle that keeps players on their toes, while an engaging art style and intuitive controls keep the game accessible and fun.

[NF2] Nexon Europe’s Navy Field 2 Open Beta Begins April 18

Nexon Europe today revealed that the open beta for their brand new massively multiplayer online naval real-time strategy game Navy Field 2 will be launched on April 18.

Throughout the period of the Public Evaluation Test, NEXON Europe listened to the extensive feedback from the community and implemented important changes such as a more user friendly tutorial, allowing players to fully understand the Navy Field 2 experience, interface changes to enable a more MMO experience and scaling the game to make it even larger than before.

In Navy Field 2, players will experience impressive naval action with large-scale warfare with up to 64 players in 32 vs. 32 in PvP battles. Players will build their ships to fight for one of four nations, which are Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan. With over 170 ships that can be remodeled into 456 different styles; including destroyers, battle cruisers, aircraft carriers, and submarines, the level of customization has been tremendously evolved compared to Navy Field 1. Yet, building a ship with the most fire power will not guarantee to win a battle in Navy Field 2.

“In Navy Field 2, there is no such thing as an unbeatable ship. The game offers a balanced Rock-Paper-Scissors mechanic whereby each vessel has unique strengths and weaknesses. In this balanced environment, players must manage their forces with meticulous strategies to win each battle,” said Kent Jeong, Director at SD EnterNET, the developing studio.
