GAMEVIL Partners with XL Games to Publish Mobile Version of ArcheAge. You can check the official press release below.
LOS ANGELES, CA – November 14, 2014 – Global game publisher GAMEVIL has partnered with development company XL Games to release a mobile version of the widely successful MMORPG ArcheAge.
XL Games CEO Jake Song is also known for developing the hit titles Kingdom of the Winds and Lineage. His latest game ArcheAge, released in Korea in January 2013, showcases the latest technology, a unique storyline, and a high degree of freedom in gameplay. As a result, ArcheAge received three awards at the 2013 Korea Game Awards, including Best Graphics, Best Planning and Scenario, and the highest honor of the President’s Award.
In addition to receiving praise in Korea, ArcheAge has also amassed over 2 million players in North America and Europe after being released in these regions in September 2014. By adapting this online game into a mobile RPG, GAMEVIL and XL Games hope to let even more gamers around the world enjoy ArcheAge.
GAMEVIL is the leader in adapting online games for mobile, having also launched a mobile version of the RPG Kritika on iOS and Android this past summer. The mobile version of ArcheAge will combine XL Games’ development with GAMEVIL’s service to provide the ultimate mobile MMORPG experience.
Our thoughts:
It's kind of early to hope for something like bringing the total package in the mobile version and we thinl that's not gonna happen. When we read that XL Games are complimenting on the effort of GAMEVIL of bringing Kritika on mobiles and at the back of our head, we are thinking that it will be a different ArcheAge that we will be seeing in mobile. Well, for most that's a good thing but we want the PC ported in our tiny device! hehe. So demanding right? And we think that's never gonna happen anyway.
No further details yet are revealed aside from Gamevil partnering with XL Games to create an ArcheAge mobile game. If an update comes though, we will surely post ut here in Web Junkies. So stay vigilant!
