S4 League being ported over to the West

S4 League was recently licensed by Burda:ic to be made available for western audiences through their international online games portal alaplaya. S4 League is an online multiplayer third-person shooter with striking similarities to Gunz Online that’s popular in Korea and was developed by Korean gaming company Neowiz. Much like Gunz Online, S4 League has players battling each other in a fantasy sport where gunplay and John Woo-esque shootouts take place. The cel-shaded anime style graphics a la Jet Grind Radio suits the frantic and over the top ultra stylized gameplay quite nicely, as well. When it launches, it could rival the popularity of Gunz Online.
