June 28^th, 2005 (5:09pm) - Webzen has announced that its highly anticipated massively multiplayer freeform combat and driving-based game, All Points Bulletin (APB), is in development for the Xbox 360. APB is being developed by Real Time Worlds under the leadership of David Jones, creator of the original Grand Theft Auto franchise.

A genre-breaking game unlike any other in the MMO space, All Points Bulletin offers intense game play in a highly volatile world filled with dramatic car chases, shootouts, busts, escapes and arrests. Players can also enjoy a fully customizable gaming experience without leveling-up constraints, allowing them to choose character appearances, attitudes, music preferences and more. In addition, many actions throughout the game will result in cash rewards, enabling players to obtain advanced weaponry, vehicles and other items to further enhance their characters.

APB will be the first real-world based, massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) for Xbox 360. Webzen will publish and operate the game in worldwide markets, with Webzen America Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Webzen, launching and operating APB in North America.

"We are very happy to see Webzen’s enthusiasm in creating games such as APB and Huxley for Xbox 360," said John Smith, Group Manager US & Asia 3rd Party Publishing, Microsoft. "WEBZEN is one of the key developers, publishers and operators of massively multi-player online games in Asia and their commitment to Xbox 360 will no doubt have a huge market impact on our next-generation console. We look forward to working closely with WEBZEN to fully leverage the online and MMOG policy features of our Xbox 360 platform as they build bigger and better games.

All Points Bulletin is scheduled to see a release for Xbox 360 in 2008.
