The title, already one of the most successful massively multiplayer online games in the Far East, will be published simultaneously in the U.S. and Europe in Q1 for PC.

RF Online (Rising Force Online) delivers a supremely rich gaming experience that has already attracted over 1 million players in the Far East since its launch last year and was recently identified as the "most anticipated MMORPG" at mmorpg.com*

Seok-Ho Youn, CEO, at CCR, Inc, commented: "We have witnessed Codemasters' commitment to MMO games and we are pleased to award the license for the remaining European territories to the organisation. We are confident that Codemasters Online Gaming will be a leading MMO publisher in the West and we're looking forward to being a part of its success."

David Solari, Director of Codemasters Online Gaming, said: "The response we've received from the RF Online community has been amazing and it has already attracted a surprisingly large following throughout Europe. Given that, until now, the title was not promoted across mainland Europe indicates there is a huge market for RF Online. This extension to our distribution agreement ensures that the game will be a major event in the Western MMO calendar when it launches in 2006."

With stunning in-game visuals and jaw-dropping character and environment detail, RF Online is an incredible next generation MMO game. It features a unique blend of magical fantasy mixed with futuristic science-fiction action and sees players engaging in the most epic battles ever seen in a MMO role-playing game.

RF Online is set to launch in Q1 2006 and will be published and operated in the US and Europe by Codemasters Online Gaming.
