Tabula Rasa: From Russia With Love
Tabula Rasa Vault is reporting on a news article out of England (which is where 007 hails from ironically enough), that has Tabula Rasa in 4th place on the Russian retail gaming charts.
Not bad for a game that some doomed as a failure.
NCsoft has formed a solid distribution network in Russia for their games by working with three of Russia's premiere distribution companies.
Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa launched in the land of Ivan Drago and Vodka on January 17 at #10. It has since climbed up to #4, confirming that this sci-fi MMO has broad appeal. Seems Russians love them some TR. Like the American version the Russian version is available in two forms (Standard and Collector's Edition) and features localized packaging and instructions.
TR is slated to release in Japan later this year. The reception there will be something we will follow very closely...as we like to help prove people wrong.
