Description:

Webzen Inc. or Webzen is a video game publisher and video game developer based in South Korea. The company, together with its subsidiaries, also engages in software licensing and related services in other Asian countries.

Their two most popular games are Mu Online and SUN. Their much-anticipated massively multiplayer game Huxley was expected to be released in 2010. However, it has been released exclusively in Korea. The EU and USA release dates are still unconfirmed.

Webzen will be publishing Firefall from Red 5 Studios in Asia, while the studio retains the publishing rights for North America and Europe. The Korean game company is currently developing MU Online's original sequel MU2 and Parfait Station. In April 2010 it was announced that Webzen will merge with NHN Games for the purpose of increasing competitiveness and profit. Webzen survived, while NHN Games dissolved with the merger on July 7, 2010.
