The Korean MMORPG expert Nexon will bring Titanfall to PC in Asia – and it will be a Free2Play version.
“It’s different elsewhere”, this is as simple as it is true. The gaming market in Asia operates entirely differently than here in the West. Players do not have powerful PCs at home, consoles are rarely found. The blockbuster franchises here, mostly hardware-demanding shooters for consoles or PCs, can hardly be played in Asia.
Online games are strong there, especially in the Free2Play sector: People meet in internet cafes and play Free2Play, paying a small fee for usage. The clique there often replaces the extended family, the club or the circle of friends.
Therefore, some of the best-known “Western franchises” in Asia are available in versions that we don’t even know here. Call of Duty Online exists, for example, Borderlands Online or Halo Online. All these games are only available in the Russian or Asian markets.
And soon “Titanfall Online” will join them. Nexon promises an intense gaming experience from the license, which they want to shape into a new and exciting online experience with their own Free2Play expertise.
This is the launch trailer for the Western Titanfall from 2014:
