Remember Huxley: The Dystopia? You’d be forgiven if you didn’t, or thought it was either vaporware or canceled.

We thought the later ourselves.

Fileplanet has started handing out closed Beta keys to Huxley: The Dystopia.

To get in on this, all you have to do is sign up with FilePlanet – even without a subscription. You will also have to create an account with ijji.com and so far this is only open to North America.

Big apologies to the Europeans.

More over on Massively.

Huxley: The Dystopia will no longer contain cross-platform play between PC and Xbox 360, and is also going with a free-to-play microtransaction business model.

“At this point, yes, [Huxley is] microtransaction supported,” ijji’s Boo Won Kim told Joystiq.

As far as no longer being cross-platform, it was confirmed to be true “at this point.”

NHN and Webzen are accepting closed beta sign-ups for the PC version of Huxley: The Dystopia.

The MMO has been in open beta in Korea since 2008, uses Unreal Engine 3, and combines FPS and RPG elements.

But you knew that already.

A release window for PC or Xbox 360 has yet to be announced.

To sign up for the beta, head here.

Webzen has a teaser site for Huxley: The Dystopia up, complete with a countdown timer.

Gotta love a tease.

The site includes a flash video featuring game footage, and it looks rather awesome.

The MMOFPS is for PC and Xbox 360, and there’s still no release date – we’re getting a bit antsy for it.

Press release is below.

Some in-game screens for the Xbox 360 version of the MMOFPS Huxley popped up on Eurogamer Portugal this morning.

The game’s post-apocalyptic world was created by Korean developer Webzen using Unreal Engine 3.

Game is still in development for both PC and Xbox 360, with a release date still to be announced.

Big Download is reporting that Webzen free-to-play MMO Huxley has been delayed until 2009.

NHN was scheduled to release the game on its site late this year. The reason for the delay was cited as “localisation issues,” apparently.

According to this press release, Webzen MMOFPS Huxley’s entered open beta in South Korea.

“Huxley is a creative, thrilling and immersive adventure, and we are excited to open the break-through game to the mass public for the first time anywhere in the world,” said Webzen meta-king Nam Ju Kim.

“Huxley combines the unmatched Unreal Engine 3-based first-person shooting action with Webzen’s proprietary networking technology for an online gaming experience like no other. We are expecting great results from the Korean beta, leading to broad anticipation and excitement for Huxley all around the world.”

Still no date on this for Europe. For shame. Out in the US this year.

After the break. The Webzen MMOFPS is releasing in the US later this year. Still no date for a European release. Doesn’t look like the worst thing in the world, to be honest.

It’s on PCGames. The trailer shows future-soldiers, power-armour, shooting, invisibility and some more shooting.

The Korean MMO is still something of an unknown quantity, but is releasing in America later this year. So there’s lovely.

NHN USA just put out a press release saying MMOFPS Huxley is to release in the US in “late 2008″.

The American arm of the Korean internet giant will release the Webzen game via ijji.com.

“Huxley is one of the most anticipated online games currently in development, and we are very excited to bring the triple-A title to Western audiences,” said NHN USA boss Whon Namkoong.

“Huxley provides gamers with a unique and compelling experience that gamers everywhere are sure to enjoy. The revolutionary online shooter is a welcome addition to ijji.com, the site where millions of fans can play it later this year.”

According to this, Webzen’s MMOFPS Huxley is still some way off. The Xbox 360 SKU is six months behind the PC outing, which is going to take another six months to localise from its native Korean.

The game is due out on PC in Korea in the first half of this year, apparently. We had no idea Webzen was even still working on this.
