With Soul Worker (or SoulWorker) confirmed for North America and Europe back in April, gamers from other locations were anxious to find out if they are getting their own regional servers. Today, it was announced Smilegate has signed the publishing rights for Soul Worker for Southeast Asia, South America, and will also take over the South Korea market from SEGA Publishing Korea.
If you did not know, Smilegate is a Korean studio which almost closed down years ago, until Tencent started publishing its game, CrossFire, in China and became the world’s biggest Free-to-Play game ever. These days, the founder of Smilegate is one of South Korea’s richest man and you might heard about a MMORPG known as Lost Ark. To be honest, I am still in a minor shock over this piece of news!
