Return of Legendary RPG, The War of Genesis 4

January 18th, 2012

Before I start talking about this game, I need to explain what this game means to Korean gamers and market first.

<The War of Genesis>(<WG>) series has been one of the best and most famous Korean RPG ever. Its developer, Softmax, introduced its first series in December 1995 and released its 6th and last title, <WG3:Part 2>, in December 2000, featuring high quality graphics and sounds, impressive characters, awesome skill effects, various strategics, top voice actors and profound story.

The games had set an unprecedented record of 700,000 sales as a sole game series and had brought a golden age to the developer.

HyungTae Kim, currently AD of <Blade & Soul> of NCsoft, made a name for himself with his unique characters as a character artist of <WG3>.

After 12 years, Softmax finally revealed the development of a MMORPG <WG4: Spiral Genesis>. However the news is just not utterly welcome because Softmax had always said “We do not want to develop <WG4> or remake the series because they are our last resorts.”

YunKyu Choi the director of Softmax said “Blizzard did a good job on melting history and content of <Warcraft> into <World of Warcraft>. I believe <WG> series got some history and world of its own. So we are putting a lot of effort into conveying our own feelings and worlds through keeping the characteristic content and history of the game, evading simple grinding and level-up.”

Softmax has developed RPG <Magna Carta> and <Magna Carta 2>, MMORPG <Talesweaver>, and MOTPS <SD Gundam Capsule Fighters> for last decade.

War of Genesis 4 Coming in 2012

May 3rd, 2011

Highly anticipated MMORPG <Sprial Genesis> which is the latest successor of <War of Genesis> series is likely to be introduced within this year and to be launched next year.

Softmax, the developer, has revised the project due date to September 2012 from September 2011 and has doubled its investment from US$5.6m.

Softmax’s contract with Game Hub Entertainment Industry company has been signed since last December 2008. Then it has been prolonged in order to enhance the visuality and completion of the game.

“Despite of the doubled investment, nothing changes in finance because they all will be put into the game development. But it could be a favorable factor that the quality of <Sprial Genesis> gets higher,” said GyeChan Moon a deputy of management support department.

<Sprial Genesis> is an official successor of <War of Genesis 3 Part 2> after 10 years. <War of Genesis> series is one of the greatest hit of Korean PC games in Korean gaming history.
