Online role-playing games are easily the rage right now, especially considering that a game like World of Warcraft has more than 6 million subscribers. However, online first-person shooters are an entirely different story. We’re not talking about conventional shooters that can be played online with 16, or even 64, players.

While there have been a handful of attempts to date to make an online first-person shooter, none have taken off. However, there’s a new game on the horizon from South Korea’s Webzen that has captured a lot of attention.

Based on Unreal Engine 3 technology, Huxley looks to meld first-person shooter gameplay with the scale and scope of an online game.

And to tie in with Electronic Gaming Monthly’s exclusive first look at the game in the April issue of the magazine (in stores now), we now have a few extra details to share online. more..
