ArchLord, one of the most anticipated MMORPGs currently in open beta service in Korea, has been secured for distribution and operation across North America and Europe by Codemasters Online Gaming.

Every month, one player will take control of the world and with it the opportunity to wreak havoc on their cowering enemies as the player gains control of supreme global ArchLord powers!

David Solari, Director of Codemasters Online Gaming, commented: "ArchLord is an incredibly important signing for Codemasters Online Gaming and NHN has delivered an amazing world and a unique player objective. This incredible feature, where players compete to become the Archlord and personally shape the game world, has never been seen before in any MMO. It's sure to capture the imaginations of Western gamers and make Archlord a landmark MMO launch for 2006."

The game's world, Kantra, is fantastically realized with stunning visuals, created using Renderware, and the game features incredibly atmospheric in-game audio recorded by the world famous London Symphony Orchestra.

ArchLord will also introduce one of the most advanced and complex PVP combat systems ever in any MMO, which utilizes sprawling free battle areas and special guild battlefields that enables players to battle in fearsome guild versus guild battles.

With an ever-evolving storyline of conquest and betrayal, ArchLord presents an epic adventure in which players band together as they quest for the ancient relics of the Archons.

ArchLord will launch in Q3 2006 and will be published and operated in North America and Europe by Codemasters Online Gaming, the company's recently formed online entertainment division.
