APB coming to Xbox 360 in 2008
Grand Theft Auto creator's cops-and-robbers MMORPG will cruise onto
Microsoft's next-gen console in three years.
In February, the creator of the first Grand Theft Auto made public
plans to bring automotive mayhem to the massively multiplayer online
role-playing game genre. Scottish game designer David Jones announced the
formation of a new studio, Real Time Worlds Ltd., whose first game, All
Points Bulletin (APB), would be a massively multiplayer online role-playing
game set in "a highly volatile world filled with dramatic car chases,
shootouts, busts, escapes, and arrests." Korean MMORPG publisher Webzen
signed on to publish the game.
While APB was originally announced solely for the PC, rumors of a
console version sprang up last week. That's when Jones sealed a deal with
Microsoft to develop games for its next-gen console, the Xbox 360. Seeing
how APB was Real Time Worlds' sole project, many suspected it would be only
a matter of time until a 360 version was announced.
It didn't take long. Today, Webzen and RTW announced that, yes, APB
will indeed be released for the Xbox 360 in 2008, around one year after the
PC version ships. "We are confident APB will take full advantage of Xbox
360's impressive capabilities," said Webzen CEO Nam Ju Kim. The game will be
Webzen's second for the 360, after the postapocalyptic shooter Huxley.

2005 preview.
