Indie MMORPG Publisher Announces First Two Titles
Zyon Games, a new indie publisher of free-to-play MMORPGs, is planning to bring release its first two titles in the U.S. and Europe early in 2008: Secret Online, and then Childhood, the latter of which it describes as a "casual" MMORPG. While Secret Online is a more traditional 3D quest-based game, Childhood is "cute"-styled and aimed at a broader age range of gamers.
The company was recently established in 2007 by Steven Wade, formerly of Aeria Games and New Game World. He describes the Zyon's strategy as "a couple of guys who are passionate about games just fulfilling their dream by doing what they love.”
Says Wade, “It is really exciting for me to be in this industry at this time. Since it is still early for the free to play space, no one really has a set formula for success; so you see a bunch of companies popping up every month or so all trying to figure it out.”
True enough; it remains to be seen, specifically, what Zyon's formula will be.
