Koei, best known for their
Dynasty Warriors franchise as well as the
Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, is bringing their previously Windows exclusive MMORPG,
Uncharted Waters Online, to the PS3 in Japan sometime during 2009. The game is based off the
Uncharted Waters series of games, the first of which was released on the Super NES in 1992. The MMO is set in the
Age of Exploration, where the player picks one of six nationalities and one of the three basic classes in order to engage in trading, exploration and battles.
No information regarding pricing or subscription fees have been released at this time. Sadly,
Uncharted Waters Online and its expansions are currently available only in Asia, so it seems unlikely this PS3 version would make it into the Western market.
