Crytek has announced a new partnership with Nexon to bring the free-to-play FPS Warface to Japan. The game has over 10 million registered players in Russia and currently is in beta in South Korea and Europe.

“Expanding Warface to Japan is a very important step for us,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek. “Since it’s a global IP, this move perfectly underlines our strategy in sharing the game’s unique action with gamers around the world. Nexon is a very trusted partner; they have shown us tremendous results in South Korea, where Warface just entered open beta after receiving highly positive feedback from gamers during closed beta, and we are sure that they will play a key role in ensuring Warface’s success in Japan as well.”
