Artix Entertainment LLC, creator of the popular web based games including AdventureQuest Worlds MMO (www.AQ.com) has acquired the Player-vs-Player- focused EpicDuel MMO (www.EpicDuel.com) . Artix will be releasing a new and improved version of EpicDuel as a surprise to their combined player base of nearly 100 million registered users after sundown on Thursday, December 3rd, 2009. (Well, slightly less of a surprise if you read this press release before it goes live!)

Along with the new game release, Artix Entertainment will also begin the alpha test of a new Master Account System which will ultimately unify the logins for all of their games.

This was Artix Entertainment LLC’s first acquisition of another gaming studio.
