APB rights returned to Realtime Worlds

Scottish dev to self-publish MMO

APB, the new MMO from Dave Jones, the man credited with creating the GTA series, is set to be self-published by studio Realtime Worlds.

Webzen had owned the right to publish the game, but it seems the developer re-acquired them using some of a new 50 million USD funding package recently confirmed.

"Owning the distribution rights to APB marks a major milestone in Realtime Worlds’ evolution into a premier online entertainment company," offered Jones.

"By controlling the rights to APB we can ensure that gamers around the globe experience the revolutionary gameplay we envisioned when we first began creating the property. We are excited about the prospect of having direct, personal relationships with our players, which is a dream come true for many development studios."

More on APB soon.
