When was the last time we heard of Webzen’s Huxley? We can’t quite recall either. Let’s just say it’s been ages. Anyhow, thinking it’d be a good time to finally crawl from under their rock, Webzen has come forth with an announcement of a closed Beta for their much anticipated MMOFPS.

Update: Thanks to Skillz for Killz, we have just received confirmation that the first Beta set to kick off September 13th applies to Korean PC gamers only. Here’s to hoping players from other regions will get a go next time.

Starting August 28 (no joking), players can sign up for the five-day closed Beta on the official Huxley website. The lucky 999 selected will get the opportunity to try out game modes like team death match, radar domination, and quest from September 13 to the 18th. According to the announcement on the official site, this is only the first Beta of more planned for the future.

Whether the closed Beta will be restricted solely to US gamers or will be available to other territories as well (ala the Call of Duty 4 Beta) wasn’t noted.

Who’s signing up for this?
