LOS ANGELES – September 28, 2009
Ndoors Interactive today announced that Atlantica Online, their premier free-to-play, strategic turn-based MMORPG, has successfully entered into closed beta in Thailand.
Asiasoft, Southeast Asia’s number one online game provider, is publishing the title after a massive localization process. With its beautiful 3D graphics, turn-based battles and a unique economic system, Atlantica Online is well positioned to offer the same great online gaming experience in Thailand that hundreds of thousands of other players across the world have grown to love.
Additionally, Ndoors has finalized a publishing agreement with Enova, the biggest publishing company in Russia, to bring Atlantica Online to the Russian market. Russia will be next in entering closed beta, as Thailand has recently ended the closed beta phase and has entered open beta.
Ndoors’ presence in the global marketplace has increased dramatically over the past year. Atlantica Online has successfully expanded from Korea into North America, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, China, and recently kicked off its European expansion in Germany.
“The gameplay style of Atlantica Online has proven to cross many borders,†said Peter Kang, CEO of Ndoors. “Through our partnerships with Asiasoft and Enova, Atlantica Online will now enter two new growing markets with the support to ensure a successful and smooth launch.â€Â
Atlantica Online is a strategic turn-based MMORPG that combines innovative combat with character/party development and city/country management. Players take on the quest to destroy the Oriharukon, a powerful energy source from the lost civilization of Atlantis that survived and is now endangering humanity. This journey will take players around the globe to locations like the Great Wall of China and the pyramids of Egypt where they will come face-to-face with monsters ripped from history and lore, such as the ruthless Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu and Dracula.
