Globex Studios hires Jason Bell to oversee development of Secret Kingdoms Online

There are a lot of growing markets in the MMO field at the moment, and one of those is indisputably the Chinese free-to-play market. Globex Studios is taking aim at precisely that demographic with its upcoming game Secret Kingdoms Online, with the company operating in both Chinese and North American territories simultaneously. In hopes of bolstering its expertise on managing the development and release of the game, Globex has hired Jason Bell as the new Executive Vice President of Products.

Bell has served in the management of several MMOs, most recently at Turbine Entertainment managing Asheron's Call. The announced game certainly looks rather involved on paper, with the game focusing upon players taking the reins of fantastical mounts in a distinct and family-friendly landscape. Whether or not Secret Kingdoms Online is the game that will bridge the gap between the American and Chinese markets remains to be seen, but Globex is certainly aiming high to start.
