ACE Online

Press Release PROVIDED BY GAMES PRESS

-Wicked Interactive ( www.wickedinteractiveltd.com), a North American MMO publisher, announced today that its strategy role-playing space shooter, ACE Online, has entered open beta. The game is being hosted on Wicked Interactive's web portal: www.subagames.com.

In celebration of the open beta launch, Wicked Interactive is holding numerous game world events and giveaways such as, player vs. player tournaments, special item lotteries, and "Last Nation Standing" Nation Wars.

"This is a major milestone for Wicked Interactive and Suba Games as we launch our first open beta and begin to build the ACE Online and Suba games communities," said Stanley Yu, CEO of Wicked Interactive Ltd.

"The response to the game's closed beta release has been overwhelming and we are truly excited about the community that is building around the game and the Suba Games platform. ACE Online really is an innovative title that combines elements of strategy, role-playing and aerial combat to offer an experience fit for every type of player."

ACE Online is a 3D space shooter that combines action and MMORPG elements. Developed by Yedang Online, one of Korea's most renowned gaming enterprises, the game puts players in the role of fighter pilots and behind the controls of ships known as "Gears". As the player battles in this intergalactic world at war, they will complete missions and engage other players in intense aerial dogfights.

ACE Online injects action and shooting elements into the traditional MMORPG formula. Players have complete control over their gear and must engage enemies directly in combat - relying on quick shooting and skillful maneuvering in order to survive. As players progress through the game, they acquire credits which can be used in the game's item shop to purchase hundreds of customizable weapons and add-ons for their "gear". Players can then fly their "gear" into immense online space battles as part of ACE Online's "Nation Wars" PvP system. These RPG elements add a layer of personal customization and multiplayer strategy to ACE Online's already action-packed gameplay. Through the blend of these two gameplay genres, ACE Online offers a fully unique and unrivaled MMO experience.
