Q: The development team of Astellia, Studio 8, is listed as an affiliate of Barunson E&A.

Why the decision to self-publish it for the English market?Ī: The western gaming community is remarkably different when compared to the Eastern counterpart, with this in mind it seemed obvious to us we would need a Western Office to provide western services. Q: Gaming giant Nexon is the publisher of Astellia in South Korea. Astellia is focused on providing players with a return to the classic MMO tenants, and this shift in the market only makes us more firm in our belief that players are waiting for the next MMORPG that is built to last, instead of all these short term projects we keep seeing. We know many studios are shifting their focus to mobile games, it makes solid business sense with lower investments and the potential for large returns on the investment.
