Shanghai, China-based online game operator and developer The9 Limited announces the termination of its licensing rights to EA Sports FIFA Online 2. The9 Limited and Electronic Arts did not divulge the reason for shutting down the game.
The companies mutually agreed to terminate the licensing agreement early, with the game ceasing operation in the second calendar quarter of 2011.
The company used to operate World of Warcraft in the region, but lost the rights to the game when its license agreement with Blizzard expired on June 7, 2009. The company saw a decrease in year-over-year net revenues in the first half of 2010 due to no longer operating World of Warcraft in the region.
Excluding FIFA Online 2, The9 Limited's only Western games are Sony Online Entertainment's Free Realms and Planetside Next.
The9 Limited operates multiple MMORPGs in mainland China such as Soul of The Ultimate Nation, Atlantica, Kingdom Heroes 2 Online, World of Fighter, Winning Goal, Free Realms, Planetside Next, and others. The9 is developing several new games, including Shen Xian Zhan, and FireFall.
