Perfect World Entertainment has announced that the closed beta for Perfect World International will begin on August 15th.

July 15th 2008 – Redwood City, CA - Perfect World Entertainment Inc. (“PWE” or the “Company”), a wholly owned US subsidiary of Perfect World Co., Ltd., announced today the launch of “Perfect World International” in North America.  While the highly acclaimed 3D MMORPG is scheduled for commercial release later this year, a few lucky individuals will have the opportunity to participate in the closed beta starting August 19th.

“Perfect World International” is the English-based, international version of Perfect World II. The game itself has been heralded as one of the most successful 3D MMORPGs in over 10 countries worldwide and offers an immersive online world with three unique races and six different classes; all the while maintaining its free-to-play business model.  In addition, it boasts of one of the most in-depth character creation interfaces known to date, numerous quests full of lore and depth, and an extensive selection of items and fashions.

For PVP fans, “Perfect World International” hosts something called Territory Wars; a weekly battle where guilds fiercely compete to dominate certain parts of the world. The victors walk away with a great deal of reward in addition to the many added benefits that the conquered territory provides.

 “We know that players have been waiting a long time for Perfect World International to be published here in North America, so we're very excited to be sharing this announcement with all the gamers.” said Dr. Alan Chen, CEO of Perfect World Entertainment Inc. “Our mission is to provide the highest quality of online services to our customer in North America."

PW International can be a fresh new start for veterans of the PW-MY corruption. Sweet.
