Santa Clara, CA, August 21, 2001-Nexon USA, a pioneer and innovator in the field of massively multiplayer online game development, is pleased to announce the August 21st North American retail launch of Shattered Galaxy, the largest "Massive Online Warfare" persistent universe for the PC. Shattered Galaxy, published in North America by Nexon USA and distributed by Tri Synergy Inc., has already won critical acclaim from industry peers by claiming 4 out 6 coveted Independent Games Festival awards at the 2001 Games Developers Conference. The awards presented to Nexon for Shattered Galaxy include the Seumas McNally Grand Prize, Audience Choice Award, Technical Excellence Award and Best Game Design.

Combining the key components of popular gaming genres including role-playing, real-time strategy, turn-based strategy and squad-based combat, with proprietary Nexon DOOMVAS software technology which enables versatile, rapid game world updates and feature-rich game play, Shattered Galaxy is revolutionizing online massive multiplayer gaming.

Shattered Galaxy allows over 100,000 gamers to play simultaneously. Intense real-time strategy battles allow over 30 players to compete for long-term rewards. Players build and manage up to 50 combat units equipped with over 1,000 high-tech military components. "Shattered Galaxy invigorates both real-time strategy and massively multiplayer game play," states Kevin Saunders, Project Director and Producer of Shattered Galaxy. "The scope of the game is astounding: more units, more facets, and more players simultaneously combating than ever before experienced in either genre."

Set in a distant star system light years from Earth, Shattered Galaxy introduces players to the tragic remnants of the human race after a government experiment had gone catastrophically awry. Battling constant threats of alien and human attacks, players assume the role of military tacticians, securing dominance, wealth, prestige and political power through the shrewd manipulation of their cybernetic armies.

Shattered Galaxy, designed for PC/Windows systems, is available in most major retail outlets for the introductory price of $29.95. Shattered Galaxy provides the best entertainment value in the massively multiplayer online gaming genre, with a special offer of $5.00/month available when purchased a one-year subscription.
