  Feb. 23, 2012 – (Los Angeles, Calif.) – Nexon America today announced plans to publish “Shadow Company: The Mercenary War,” a first-person shooter PC game, in North America later this year. From Doobic Game Studios, “Shadow Company: The Mercenary War” is being developed using Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 3, offering the first-person shooter (FPS) a level of graphic fidelity rarely seen in a free-to-play game.
  

  
  
  “Shadow Company: The Mercenary War” is an evolution in free-to-play FPS games, offering features such as weather effects, dynamic lighting effects, 24 person multiplayer combat, and realistic character animation made possible by Unreal Engine 3.
  
  
  “‘Shadow Company: The Mercenary War’ represents the exceedingly high level of quality we strive for in the games we publish,” said Nexon America CEO Daniel Kim. “Robust graphics and innovative gameplay combined with solid multiplayer options make ‘Shadow Company: The Mercenary War’ a perfect fit for players in North America.”
  
  
  “Partnering with Nexon to publish and service ‘Shadow Company: The Mercenary War’ is a great opportunity for us to show the world how compelling a free-to-play FPS can be,” said Jun Hyok Im, CEO of Doobic Game studios. “We are committed to working with the best partner in each market in order to make ‘Shadow Company: The Mercenary War’ the finest first-person shooter available. Given our publishing history with Nexon and the company’s track record of success, it was an easy decision to partner with Nexon once again.”
  
  
  Globally, Nexon has obtained the rights to publish “Shadow Company: The Mercenary War” in North America, Europe and Japan. “Shadow Company: The Mercenary War” will join a diverse suite of free-to-play games in Nexon America’s PC games portfolio when it launches later this year.

  Because Nexon needs another game, never mind that's it's an FPS.
  
  I mean, otherwise it looks fine to me, but almost all FPS games look the same to me.

  Agreed, FPS games look the same to me, but they still are extremely entertaining.
  
  But really, do they need another FPS? they already have Combat Arms and Sudden Attack.
  
  Edit: after watching the video, seeing them stomp on people, watching them rolling through holes and flipping through windows, this game looks fucking awesome.

  I'll say it, I almost thought that was a COD MW 2 video with the way the gun looked like. Do they really need two fps games? just update combat arms.

  FPS's regardless of quality (for the most part) will always generate good money. Always.

  Yep, they release another FPS, when they already have two of them, one not even a year old yet. And yet, they still haven't brought over Talesweaver, or that Husky Express game that devCAT's been working on for a while, and could likely work on it more if there was a larger audience (Americans that love adorable puppies, in particular) that wanted the game. But nope, another generic FPS. Yay.

  Meh. I don't like the sights. :l But I mean... it seems alright.

  I'll play it, I'm particularly fond of first person shooters,and it looks fun. I don't really think that it was needed, I mean they could've replaced combat arms but that would somewhat foolish no? o-o
  
  Edit: Saw the trailer.... They don't even aim half the time :gloom3:

  Sadly, Husky became vaporware. Tales weaver would have been an excelent option but nope, BROWNAN AND SHOOTAN FOR YOU

  You should've seen some of the recent CoD gameplay trailers of Blackops and MW3, 90% of the time they're not aiming .-.

  Oh, so they did ax the game. Last I heard, it was just stuck in development hell after testing. Shame, really. ;~;

  No, no, they didn't axe it as far as I know (Kitaek probably has better details). Vaporware means it just faded into obscurity and never got a release, nor an official cancelation
