WEBZEN, Inc. (NASDAQ: WZEN), a leading global online entertainment developer, publisher and operator, announced today that its massively multiplayer online first-person shooter, HUXLEY, was recently named ?Best Online Game? at the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) by Hardcore Gamer Magazine. The highly anticipated HUXLEY is scheduled for release in 2006 for PC/CD-ROM. The MMOFPS is also slated for the Xbox 360? video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.

?Hardcore Gamer Magazine?s audience represents the very gamers we hope will love the fast action and intense game play we are putting into HUXLEY,? said Nam Ju Kim, CEO, WEBZEN Inc. ?WEBZEN has received much critical acclaim and positive feedback for HUXLEY since its debut at E3. This award is another testament to the development team?s vision of making a game that will perfectly blend the best qualities of first-person shooters with those of more traditional massively multiplayer online games.?

HUXLEY is a massively multiplayer online first-person shooter (MMOFPS) utilizing the Unreal 3.0 engine and WEBZEN?s proprietary networking technology to create an enriched game play experience with up to 5,000 players in the same world. HUXLEY takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where human beings have mutated and divided into two opposing races ? the Sapiens and the Alternatives. Key to their battle for survival is Lunarites, a promising new energy source highly coveted by each race. Forced to fight against one another for the continuance of their races, the Sapiens and Alternatives must accomplish the unthinkable as they work to eliminate the opposition and gain control of the world and its resources.

?HUXLEY looked and played exceptionally well at E3,? said Adam Pavlacka, executive editor, Hardcore Gamer Magazine. ?HUXLEY?s focus on action-oriented play sets it apart from the numerous MMOs on the market.?
