Seoul, South Korea, February 21, 2003-NCsoft announced a 2003 business plan that encompasses both its game development and service schedule. In addition to Lineage, NCsoft is to bring other various games to the market this year and is planning to develop games and provide services in a variety of genres other than RPG (Role Playing Game).
Building on Lineage, which is currently in commercial service, NCsofts plan includes introducing EverQuest and Shining Lore in the first half of the year and Lineage II and in the second half. City of Heroes and Exarch are to be launched around the late 2003 or the first half of 2004. Exarch is a 3D online game with an SF (Science Fiction) setting that has been in the works since November 2000. US game developer Realm Interactive, LLC, which developed this game, signed a contract in July of last year for NCsoft to publish it globally.
Also, Lineage Forever, which was known to be the Lineage 3D-version development project, is now being developed under the new brand of Aion. As an ambitious next-generation work of NCsoft which follows on Lineage and Lineage II, Aion is aiming for an intense cyberworld environment centered around confrontation between the gamer and the game environment which distinguishes it from existing online games that are based on contact and conflict between gamers who are connected to the game space.
Furthermore, Gameting (www.gameting.com) is to move beyond its current character as a board game portal and continuously add unique and independent games so that it can develop into a game service site with its own individuality.
NCsoft is setting as its goal to achieve sales of KRW180 billion this year through these diversified games and active overseas market development and is expecting to achieve foreign sales of over KRW30 billion.
