WEBZEN announced today that the official launch will begin on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009. Furthermore, WEBZEN plans to commercially launch the game at the end of October 2009. We’re not really sure what the difference is between the official launch and the commercial launch.

Soul of the Ultimate Nation (S.U.N) is a fantasy-based MMORPG showcasing splendid graphics, strategic battle zone systems and storytelling quests which has been successfully operating in Asia for the last 4 years. First appearing in Korea in 2006, S.U.N. is now distributed in China, Japan, Taiwan and it made its way to North America and England.

“The Beta-test was a success and we were able to better understand gamers’ needs and bring service stability. WEBZEN would like to invite gamers around the globe to visit our portal when the service starts,” said Chang Keun Kim, the chief executive officer of WEBZEN.

Global S.U.N will be serviced worldwide except for the regions which have been distributed such as East Asia, North America, and England.

To celebrate the official launch, WEBZEN will give away cash items to all the new characters and also will give in-game money to support guild masters to run the guild.
