Huxley 360 on hold pending PC sales
PC game still on track for 2009 release.
Now that Darkfall Online is actually out (albeit still somewhat elusive), the mantle of world's most delayed MMO must pass to the Korean massively multiplayer FPS, Huxley.
According to IGN, Huxley is still on course for a Korean and US release this year, but the Xbox 360 version that was intended to follow it by about 6 months is "up in the air".
Publisher NHN says it only picked up the North American rights to the PC version, although it's "possible" that a console version will follow if it sells well.
Huxley delayed until 2009 in US
Still no European date for MMO FPS.

MMO Huxley finally gets Western publisher
NHN doing PC honours this year.

Huxley to hit US PCs later this year
But won't arrive on Xbox 360 till 2009.
Webzen has confirmed that much-delayed massively multiplayer FPS Huxley will be released in the US in late 2008 on PC. The Xbox 360 will follow around six months later.
With real time footage.
A new trailer for Huxley, Webzen's forthcoming PC and Xbox 360 title, is now available on Eurofiles.
Huxley is a massively multiplayer first-person shooter loosely based on classic sci-fi novel Brave New World. It's set in a post-apocalyptic universe where the human race has become divided into three genetically-mutated factions - the Sapiens, the Alternatives and the Hybrids - all battling for control of planet Earth.
The game is being built using the Unreal 3 Engine and will allow for up to a hundred battles to take place at the same time, with each server supporting 5000 players.
