New York (Feb. 21, 2005)
- RF Online, one of the Far East’s most successful massively multiplayer
online games, is crossing over to the West as Codemasters announces it is now
shipping the much-anticipated MMO to retail outlets in the U.S. and U.K.
RF Online (Rising Force Online) was created by and licensed from
MMO publishers CCR, Inc. of South Korea, and delivers a supremely rich
gaming experience that has already attracted more than 1 million players in the
Far East since its launch last year, and currently thousands of gamers in the
West, through the hugely popular Western BETA.
“Watching RF Online ship
caps a major achievement for Codemasters Online Gaming,†said Ed Relf, Head of
Marketing for Codemasters Online Gaming. “The beta test has been very well
received and it’s a delight to be launching what is set to be one of the most
anticipated MMO releases of 2006.â€
With stunning in-game visuals and
jaw-dropping character and environment detail, RF Online is an incredible next
generation MMO game. It features a unique blend of magical fantasy mixed with
futuristic science-fiction action and sees players engaging in the most epic
battles ever seen in a MMO role-playing game.
Set in the deep space
galaxy of Novus, RF Online allows players to pick from three all-powerful
warring factions and lead his or her character into the final battle for control
over the entire Novus galaxy.
RF Online delivers a unique approach to
player versus player gameplay, utilizing one of the most advanced combat systems
of any MMO title. Full-scale battles break out daily as thousands of players
engage in deadly wars – the reward of victory is high: the winning race gains
control of the game world’s most valuable mine and its precious
resources.
Each race has its own characterization, with skills and
abilities taken from both traditional fantasy and science fiction. Players can
join the Bellato Union and take control of their incredible Mech battle units,
the like of which has never been seen before in any MMO game.
Players
can also choose to join the Holy Alliance Cora, a mystical and
fantasy-orientated race or sign up to the mighty Accretia Empire, a futuristic
robotic race intent on pillaging resources and spreading devastation across the
entire Novus sector with their advanced weapon systems.
