Atlus Online today announced a partnership to release Neo Steam™: The Shattered Continent in the Philippines. A fantasy-steampunk massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), Neo Steam has slowly become one of the more popular free-to-play (F2P) titles, with a growing community of dedicated fans and an unprecedented amount of exciting in-game events.

"Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent represents the consummate online community gaming experience," stated Jamie Ortiz, Head of Business Operations, Atlus U.S.A., Inc. "Few other F2P MMORPGs can brag about having as many in-game events or as hands-on a team of community managers. It's that level of dedication to the community and attention to detail that has helped Neo Steam stand apart from its peers, and why we're so excited to be able to work with Level Up! to bring the game to an entirely new audience in the Philippines."

"We are very excited about the newest game under LU/GG [Level Up! Global Games] - Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent. When we announced the game in Level Up! Live 2009, Atlus fans came up to me to share their enthusiasm about the partnership. Truly, it's a pleasure to work with the Atlus Online team, and together we will bring the epic steam machine battles in Neo Steam to the Global Filipino players," said Kamesh Forbes, Business Development Manager of Level Up! Inc.

Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent is scheduled to launch in the Philippines on December 18, 2009. For more information about Neo Steam, please visit the official game website at http://neosteam.atlusonline.com.
