NC America, the company's western division, will be responsible for the project.
NCSOFT's western division, NC America, will publish the cyberpunk shooter DEFECT, developed by emptyvessel, a studio founded by the authors of DOOM and The Last of Us.
emptyvessel CEO Emanuel Palalic stated that the collaboration with NCSOFT will allow the studio to bring the project to the global market with greater confidence. According to him, the publisher's support helps lay a solid foundation for the game's single-player campaign.
In an era when many publishers are moving away from supporting single-player modes, it's nice to see NCSOFT's confidence in what we're creating.
DEFECT is a team-based first-person shooter. The project is focused on cooperative multiplayer, but will also offer a full-fledged single-player mode.
