Hacking and slashing its way past the average online game, the epic fantasy massively multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG) Soul of the Ultimate Nation brings evil to its knees during its first closed beta testing (CBT) on the gaming portal ijji.com. The dark souls playing Soul of the Ultimate Nation’s closed beta will experience for the first time the anticipated MMO’s two warring dynasties grappling for dominance. The first beta period begins today and runs for five days. Daring gamers can sign up at http://sun.ijji.com to participate.

“Soul of the Ultimate Nation brings a unique fantasy element to the superior gameplay touted by ijji.com,” said Philip Yun, CEO, NHN USA, which hosts ijji.com. “Rebellion, suspense, betrayal and an epic storyline that will blow imaginative minds away all come together flawlessly in Soul of the Ultimate Nation. Yet again, ijji.com proves its dedication to superior free-to-play content.”

In Soul of the Ultimate Nation’s first beta period, players’ experiences will vary as they choose from multiple classes, including Berkserkers, Dragon Knights, Valkyries and Elementalists. In addition, 100 randomly selected players will receive an exclusive in-game item for use in OBT and beyond: a Siberian Husky pet.

Soul of the Ultimate Nation is a fantasy MMORPG set in a world ravaged by corruption and war. The Immortal Emperor governed the Brakion continent with a dark and secret knowledge in his possession – the existence of Ether. Converting the valuable Ether into dark energy and using it to conquer the entire continent with his terrifying, demonic armies, the Immortal Emperor impoverished the land causing the ruling classes to turn to alliances with neighboring nations to continue its supremacy. Stemming from oblique dealings and intimate secrets among the royal families, two opposing dynasties blossomed. Enveloped in graphically stunning settings and intricate story lines, dotted with harrowing surprises lurking behind dark shadows, players will relish in the ever-expanding fantasy world that is Soul of the Ultimate Nation.
