Declare your allegiance as new RF Online website launches, includes first official Western game movie

New York – Sept. 16, 2005 – Codemasters today unveils the first official Western glimpse of RF Online in action with the launch of an epic Prologue video for the forthcoming science-fiction fantasy MMORPG. The video, combining stunning in-game visuals with beautifully rendered sequences, is now available from the RF Online website, also launched today at www.codemasters.com/rfonline.

RF Online, coming to PC in Q1 2006, has already engaged more than 1 million players in the Far East since its launch last year. Now, as the game prepares for its U.S. and UK arrival, the English-language website will be a key destination for the inside-track on the game world.

The website reveals RF Online’s setting, Planet Novus, and its three factions. To enter the site, use your gut judgement and make your first declaration of allegiance: will you join the mighty Accretia Empire, the futuristic and destructive robotic faction, the Holy Alliance Cora, the mystical original inhabitants of Novus, or the incredible Bellato Union with their Mech battle units? Dependant on the faction chosen, the website is skinned to reflect your selection.

There’s plenty to discover throughout the site, which will be expanded over the coming months, including more detail on the factions and, should your allegiance change, the site will re-skin to suit. For extra insider details, you can also sign up to the RF Online newsletter and get all the latest scoops as this epic game of supremacy heads to the West.

With its unique blend of magical fantasy and futuristic science-fiction action that has players fighting in the most awesome battles ever seen in a MMO role-playing game, RF Online will be published by Codemasters Online Gaming in the U.S. and the UK in Q1 2006.
