WEBZEN Launches New Mobile Golf Game "Shot Online Golf: World Championship" on i
-
WEBZEN has launched its new mobile golf game Shot Online Golf: World Championship in Canada.
Shot Online Golf: World Championship is a realistic golf game that brings an authentic golf experience straight to players through their mobile devices. The game is the follow-up to WEBZEN's PC golf MMO Shot Online, in which players compete against human opponents in real time on a range of real and fictional courses.
After the previous closed beta in June, more than 20% of beta testers participated in a survey to help the Shot Online Golf team improve the quality of the game. As a result of the survey, the game now comes with a whole new set of features and system improvements, further enhancing the previous closed beta versions.
Currently only available in Canada, Shot Online Golf: World Championship allows players to level up, unlock skills and tear up the fairway against real opponents on their iOS or Android devices. The game features superb graphics, realistic gameplay, 1v1 real-time matches and more than 100 golf clubs and costumes with which to customize characters.
Various modes of play are also available, including the Betting Challenge and Academy modes. The Betting Challenge allows players to bet a certain amount of in-game cash on a 1-hole match, with winners receiving double the bet as a reward.
In the Academy mode, players can hone their skills and play their way through various lessons and missions in order to achieve the coveted Pro title. To clear the more challenging Academy missions, players can upgrade clubs and costumes to improve stats.
Event matches are also available, which include longest drive, nearest (closest ball to the hole wins) and putting competitions.
Shot Online Golf: World Championship is now available for free download in the App Store and Google Play in Canada. The full, global release is slated for 2018 on both iOS and Android.
Players can also check out this short video clip on the official WEBZEN YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhjb9Zi67AI.

MU Legend's Open Beta Now Live with New Trailer
-
WEBZEN today announced the worldwide opening of its acclaimed ARPG MU Legend.
It marks the culmination of a one-year-long journey, punctuated by two closed beta tests and one stress test, since preparations began for the release of one of WEBZEN's most anticipated games.
Dennis Czybulka, COO at Webzen Dublin, acknowledged the occasion with these words: "Launching a game is always a high-stakes moment to live through, where hundreds of emotions collide. Here, in the 'OBT backstage', I am witnessing - let me put it like this - 'an exotic diversity of exhilarated states of mind ': The chills of enthusiasm are making hairs stand on end, adding a frenetic edge to the usual finger-tapping rhythm - still not missing a beat - and hearts are hammering faster than usual. Now, the fun starts for the fans, and our attention is focused entirely on making their game experience the most unforgettable yet. We're excited for players to experience first-hand the passion that we've put into MU Legend and look forward to seeing them all in-game."
The open beta is a "last preparation step", and players will retain all game data (characters, purchases, items, etc.) even after the day of the official release.
Players no longer have to worry about any data wipes and can now take as much time as they need to explore the deep content offered by the game. Stating it clearly, there will be NO WIPE at all during or after the OBT period.
Although all game content has been made available today, further expansions are already in the pipeline.
Developers are planning to deploy updates and extensions on a regular basis, with a 3v3-combat feature to arrive in the first update before the end of the year. This feature will offer a dynamic PvP environment, involving strategy and team coordination. Other new content, including territory wars, is slated to arrive soon after.
Additionally, thousands of players are due to receive their first special titles, awarded for participating in the CBTs and the stress test. The MU Legend team has announced that these marks of recognition will be delivered to those early pioneers on November 14th, 2017.
The team also offered a final comment: "It would have been almost impossible to carry the MU Legend dream this far - more than a decade after the launch of MU Online - without the support of the fans. We'd like to express our warmest thanks to all our players who've continued to have faith in this dream, and we hope that they'll enjoy the game as much as we've enjoyed developing it."
Along with the open beta, a brand-new MU Legend trailer has been released today. Before heading to the official site to get started on their epic journeys, players can check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAB3URfbuu0

MU Legend: Final Weekend Approaches Before OBT Release
-
WEBZEN today reminds players of the impending launch of MU Legend's OBT on November 7th, 2017.
With the open beta set to begin early next week, the latest version of the MU Legend client is already available for download on the website. Players that took part in the stress test will have a patch available when the servers open on November 7th, 2017 (UTC).
Furthermore, once the OBT starts, there will be no data wipes. This means that players can enjoy the game from day 1, secure in the knowledge that their characters will not be lost when the game reaches official release. Players who have not yet signed up or downloaded the client are still welcome to do so at: http://mulegend.webzen.com/en/
In 2001, MU Online was released to the pure happiness of hordes of fans all around the world. This marked the birth of the MU franchise globally. In 2017, 16 years later, MU Legend pays tribute to those unforgettable days, embodying much of what made its eldest ARPG brother so unique: Atmosphere, lore, game mechanics and much more. While staying true to the essence of the MU franchise, MU Legend comes with its own flavor and richness for players to discover. It's the product of a new vision that emerged from the minds of the MU Legend developers, generated with experience acquired over more than a decade.
MU Legend will open the doors into a fantastic world, long before the events of MU Online. As previously introduced, players will have four classic MU-franchise classes to choose from and embark on their epic journeys.
On the official Facebook page and Discord channel, users who had the chance to join the two closed betas and the stress test are passionately (and kindly) urging the MU Legend team to release the game.
Responding to their fans' enthusiasm, the MU Legend team at WEBZEN Dublin commented: "Our players are the most supportive fans ever! Even when we were facing the pre-production hazards experienced by almost every game, our fans expressed their unbreakable encouragement in thousands of ways! We're truly blown away by the support we've been receiving on our social media pages. Seeing the hundreds of positive emojis really puts smiles on our faces every day."
To welcome all guilds, feedback, roleplay stories and more, the MU Legend team has today re-opened the long-awaited forums. A place for all to post opinions, guides and questions, the forums are ready to host fans from all over the world.
To provide the best game experience for players, MU Legend's team of experts has released a new volley of deeply detailed game guides. The guides provided include topics such as the Rift, the guild system and the Endless Tower, each of which covers invaluable knowledge for any MU Legend pro; the "Guides" section of MU Legend's website is not to be missed.
