The anime action MMO Soulworker is set to enter an open beta in South Korea. A release in Europe has also been announced.
In South Korea, the open beta for Soulworker starts on January 18. This was announced by the publisher Smilegate in a press conference. The four playable heroes will be Soulum Sword, Mist Scythe, Gun Jazz, and Howling Guitar.
Soulworker offers energetic battles in third-person perspective, it is said.
The German publisher Gameforge had already announced in April last year that it would distribute Soulworker in Europe. Gameforge has MMORPGs from Korea in its portfolio, including TERA and Aion.
In Japan, Soulworker has been running for quite a while. In its home market of South Korea, it had difficulties with the original publisher SEGA. Smilegate then took over. Smilegate is the studio behind the wildly successful Asia shooter Crossfire and is also responsible for the hack-and-slash hope Lost Ark .
