CCP And Nexon Join Forces For EVE Online In Japan
CCP's EVE Online has been one of the success stories in an MMO market dominated by Blizzard's World of Warcraft. Now, the company is looking to increase its market share in Japan with a new partnership with one of Asia's leading online game publishers, the Korean company Nexon (best known for MapleStory).
This partnership will bring "fully localized game client and product services" for EVE Online in Japan allowing gamers in that country to play the game in Japanese when it releases on PC this fall. The partnership will also allow gamers to access EVE Online through Nexon's popular portal site and allow Nexon to handle billing and regional promotional and marketing duties.
Japan will later see release of the EVE Online tie-in shooter Dust 514 on the PlayStation 3 next year.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
