ACE Online

ACE Online is an action based, Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) 3D Space Shooter. Set in an exotic intergalactic world, ACE Online mixes the strategy and depth of a role-playing game (RPG) with all the fast-paced action of a space shooter. ACE Online gives players the opportunity to pilot their very own personalized aircraft, known as Gears, through intense air battles and interplanetary environments.

ACE Online players will be able to strategically upgrade their aircraft through the acquisition of various skills, weapons, engines, radars, and other attributes. The game will launch its closed beta next week on August 18, 2008, with the official launch following later this year.

PristonTale

A fantasy-style MMORPG for the PC, PristonTale is developed by Yedang Online. The game was launched in Korea in 2001, with the English Language version releasing in Europe in 2004. PristonTale firmly established Yedang Online's reputation in the Korean online gaming space. Wicked Interactive will be taking over the International servers for the game, providing technical updates and all-new customer support features for the existing and loyal PristonTale community, which includes over a million players.

PristonTale 2

A fantasy-style MMORPG for the PC, PristonTale 2: The Second Enigma is Yedang Online's sequel to the wildly popular PristonTale. This fantasy-style MMORPG boasts high-quality graphics realized through a combination of realistic backgrounds, fantastical characters, and spectacular combat effects - all made possible by the Unreal Engine.

The game has experienced huge success in South Korea where only three days after it launched its open beta in South Korea, PristonTale 2's concurrent online players reached 40,000. The game will launch in the U.S. and Canada later this fall.
