Wicked Interactive, a newly formed North American MMO publisher, announced today that it has launched a new online game publishing group and entered into a strategic partnership with Yedang Online. Yedang Online is one of the largest leading online game publishers and developers in Korea. Wicked Interactive will bring Yedang Online's top properties, PristonTale, PristonTale2 and Ace Online, to North America this year.

Wicked Interactive is led by President and CEO, Stanley Yu. Previously as Co-founder, President & CEO and Director of Toronto-based IT services company TrekLogic Inc. and Brainhunter Inc., Yu was responsible for the rapid growth of the company resulting in it becoming one of the top two technology staffing and solutions companies in Canada.

"Through the internet, video games have evolved into a social and community-based experience," said Stanley Yu, President and CEO of Wicked Interactive. "With our strategic partnership with leading partner like Yedang Online, we are poised to take a pioneering role in capitalizing on this new phenomenon."

"Our strategic partnership with Wicked Interactive will enable us to further build upon our current successes in the North American market," said Jay Park, Overseas Marketing Director of Yedang Online. "We are extremely pleased to have Wicked Interactive as our partner in expanding our footprint in the North American market."

Wicked Interactive will host all of its upcoming games on a proprietary technology platform which will be announced this month, along with more details about its upcoming products.
