Arabic Rappelz Commercial Date Announced

The Arabic localisation of Rappelz will be starting commercial service on March 16th.

Rappelz is a popular MMO, and the first to be localised for the Middle East and North African communities by Dubai based publisher/developer Game Power 7.

What's interesting is that the game has been wholly translated and localised for the region, with characters redesigned and the plot rewritten somewhat so that it appeals more to the community.

You can check out our interview with Game Power 7's Fadi Mujahid for more insight on the importance of localisation and the hurdles faced. It's an extremely interesting read for anyone wondering about the presence and perception of games in other cultures.
