From July 1 to 14, online game portal Gamescampus.com will host a closed beta test for MMORPG Concerto Gate, preparing for the Square Enix-produced game's North American release.

Concerto Gate is the sequel to Cross Gate, which was launched in Japan in July 2001. Though never introduced in the U.S., Cross Gate claims some 23 million registered users in Japan, Taiwan and Korea, and Concerto Gate features an updated game system and improved graphics.

Said Kevin Kim, CEO of OnNet USA, which runs Gamescampus.com: "I am thrilled and excited to introduce Concerto Gate to American players. Square Enix is, without doubt, one of the most famous developers in the world, and I believe the features of this game surely live up to their reputation. Concerto Gate is a terrific addition to Gamescampus.com, the leader in item-based games."

Square Enix producer Noriaki Watanabe added: "It is our pleasure to introduce Concerto Gate to American audiences through Gamescampus.com. We hope now that even more players can experience our game's revolutionary world and its exciting, new features."
