Sword of the New World

Online game publisher K2 Network is bringing Korea's most popular and highly decorated massively multi-player online role-playing game to North America and Europe this summer. Winner of the 2006 Grand Award for Best Game in Korea, Granado Espada, which will be titled Sword of the New World in the U.S. is developed by famed developer Hakkyu Kim, the creator of Ragnarok Online. A fantasy MMORPG whose story is modeled after Europe's exploration of the New World, this gorgeous, original title allows players to create and simultaneously control a family of characters utilizing the exclusive Multiple Character Control system. Character customization will have hundreds of costume options, while an improved control scheme and in-game tutorial makes controlling multiple characters familiar and comfortable.

MMORPG stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game. It is a genre of online games where a large number of players interact with each other within a virtual game world. As in all RPGs, players assume the role of a character and take control over many of that character's actions. MMORPGs are distinguished from single-player or small multi-player online RPGs by the game's persistent world, which continues to exist and evolve even when players are offline. Games of this genre often feature complex social dynamics, including relationships with other players, guilds or factions, and an in-game economy. Some popular examples of MMORPGs include World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, and Final Fantasy XIV.
