KUNG FOO! TAKES IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH CLOSED BETA<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

January 7, 2010 \u2013 Redwood City, Calif. – Perfect World Entertainment<\/a> today announced that its upcoming MMO, Kung Foo!<\/em>,<\/a> is now in closed beta. Scripted by special guest and highly acclaimed comic book writer, Devin Grayson<\/a>, best known for her work on Batman: Gotham Knights<\/em>, Nightwing<\/em> and the Vertigo miniseries, USER<\/em>, Kung Foo!<\/em> is filled with loot, laughter and loquacious NPCs. Based on popular MMO in China, Legend of Martial Arts<\/em>, Kung Foo!<\/em> aims to set itself apart from other traditional MMOs by parodying the experience of playing an MMO while at the same time being one; a conceit that will help introduce new players to the genre as well as appeal to veterans already seeped in MMO culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cKung Foo!<\/em> has been a completely unique experience for me,\u201d said Devin Grayson, special guest writer for Kung Foo!<\/em> \u201cAs a gamer myself, I wanted Kung Foo!<\/em> to incorporate inside jokes for veteran players, but also to work as a primer for people completely new to the concept of playing this way online. One of my goals in writing Kung Foo!<\/em> was to make the NPC dialogue compelling, so that players might actually look forward to handing in their quests instead of considering it part of the grind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kung Foo!<\/em> will offer comical features and quests including:<\/p>\n
