14 DAY TRIAL // Advanced Micro Devices has decided to play a more active role in the game industry, so it entered an agreement with Softmax, a company based on Korea.
The Sunnyvale, California-based company didn't directly establish the collaboration. Its Korean branch did.
Still, the move is a part of AMD's Gaming Evolved program, through which it strives to create new technologies and open standards for better and better titles.
The game that is being worked on at the moment is called War of Genesis IV: Spiral Genesis and is an MMORPG (massively multiplayer online RPG).
"Our collaboration with AMD is an opportunity to drive development forward and provide our users with an outstanding graphics experience," said Yeon-Kyu Choi, chief creative officer of SOFTMAX.
"With AMD, we will ensure that the new MMORPG, The War of Genesis IV: Spiral Genesis, is the culmination of our joint development expertise, which extends across a variety of platforms."
The War of Genesis series was first launched in 1995 and includes five PC titles and over 10 mobile and console titles.
That would make the new MMO the sixth game from this “most memorable and most immersive role playing [series] in Korea and Japan” playable on personal computers.
"AMD remains focused on providing the ultimate gaming experience through its cutting-edge technology and industry-leading gaming initiatives, like the Gaming Evolved program," said David Kwon, president of AMD Korea and managing director of Global Strategic Sales, AMD.
"Our collaboration with SOFTMAX is evidence of these efforts and ensures AMD continues its close work with industry-leading game developers. At the end of the day, this collaboration means gamers can expect unparalleled and immersive gaming through AMD products and technologies."
