The American division of South Korea-based Nexon, publisher of free-to-access online PC games like MapleStory and KartRider, plans to bring its massively multiplayer online role playing game Mabinogi, which is already popular in Asia, to the U.S. market.
The game is planned for release this summer, and a closed beta period for the title begins on Jan. 30.

"Leading game developer Nexon has announced the newest Stardust update for its free-to-play fantasy MMORPG "Mabinogi".

Players will also be able to participate in the challenging Shadow Missions and new Intermediate Dungeon Levels." - Nexon
This looks good, and the studio was created by the original Arkane Studios head, so it should be in good hands.
