GamesCampus To Bring Asda Story Stateside

Online game publisher Gamescampus.com has announced a publishing deal with developer MaxOn Soft Corporation to launch Asda Story in the the U.S. market this fall.

Previously released in Japan in 2006 and in Korea in 2007, Asda Story is a free-to-play 3D MMORPG with a fantasy anime style. The game features a Soul Mate System with which two players can use a "soul mate" power to wear unique costumes and use special skills. Asda Story also incorporates a Real Costume System allowing players with extensive personalization and design options.

MaxOn Soft credits the two systems for generating a high female user ratio (20%) in the MMORPG since launching in Korea and Japan, as they enable players to personalize their characters and make them stand out. Gamescampus.com expects similar female ratios for the stateside launch of Asda Story.

Said David Chang, GamesCampus's newly appointed VP of marketing and business: "We are very pleased to announce our new partnership with MaxOn Soft which allows us to bring this wonderful product to the U.S. market. Asda Story has already built a successful following in Korea and Japan. It is an exciting and innovative 3D MMORPG, and we have every confidence it will be a major success in the U.S."
