Webzen announced this morning through a press release that Huxley - the hotly anticipated MMOFPS - will kick off its first closed beta phase on September 13th. The beta has a fairly limited number of spots; only 999 players - selected from a pool on the official site on August 28th - will get a chance to participate in the 5 day beta phase which promises to showcase the city players start in and live, as well as a variety of play modes including team death match and radar domination, as well as the quest system - something completely new to FPS games.

“With Huxley’s many innovative elements, gamers are in for a totally different experience,” said Nam-Ju Kim, chief executive officer of Webzen, Inc. “Huxley is sure to challenge the existing genres with a new look and feel in multiple platforms. We’re extremely confident that this title will set a new standard in MMOFPS.”
