Huxley

One of the more interesting games at E3 last year was Webzen's Huxley.  We knew it was a Sci-FI FPS MMORPG which was using the new Unreal Engine but that was about it.  Check out the fact sheet below on the game and then try not to drool over the screenshots at the bottom of the page.

Official Webzen Fact Sheet

Webzen introduces Huxley, the first massively multiplayer online (MMO) game to combine the twitch-based fast-action gameplay of a first person shooter (FPS) with the cerebral character development of an MMO to deliver an intense and exciting online entertainment experience of a complete MMOFPS.

In a post-apocalyptic world where human beings have mutated and divided into two opposing races, Sapiens and Alternatives must battle it out in fierce online first person combat.  The Hybrids, a mysterious third race, add to the drama as the three factions will do whatever it takes to wipe out the opposition and win control of a world in turmoil and its vital resources.

Do you have what it takes to obliterate and dominate the competition?  Choose your side, create your character, grab a weapon and get the enemy in your cross-hairs in Huxley!
