Today, Korean internet big shot NHN announced that the PC version of Huxley will see a North American release in late 2008. Published under the Western branch of NHN, Huxley will be available to download via the company’s website at www.ijji.com.

Whon Namkoong, CEO, NHN USA, Inc. commented on the news saying: “…We are very excited to bring the triple-A title to Western audiences…Huxley provides gamers with a unique and compelling experience that gamers everywhere are sure to enjoy”.

One thing that was missing from the press release was any further news on the Xbox 360 version of the game, which is planned to be released six months after the PC version and include an exclusive single player campaign. Given the long history of so many cancelled MMO games for the 360, it’s hard to remain positive over the lack of any further information, but then again no news is good news right?

For those not in the know, Huxley is the latest, but not the first, game that combines the in-depth social experience of a massive multiplayer online game, with the fast-paced explosive action of a first person shooter. Players will be able to choose between two races (Sapiens or Alternatives) and fight in an ongoing war over energy sources while at the same time dealing with a secretive third party, the Hybrids, which are said to be a result of the other two races.
