Nexon America announced their newest upcoming release for the PC, Extraction. Extraction is an online multiplayer FPS, developed by Splash Damage and published Nexon America.

From what we know, Extraction will be a combination of fast paced FPS action combined with tactical teamwork, with a wealth of playable characters. Characters will all have different classes, styles and abilities, giving players the ability to customize their gaming experience.

Min Kim, CEO of Nexon America had this to say regarding the team’s experience with Splash Damage:

“We are inspired by the passion of the developers at Splash Damage and have immense respect for their expertise in multiplayer game development. Extraction’s refreshing blend of action and team-oriented strategy provides the depth PC shooter fans have been looking for. Through our partnership with Splash Damage, we hope to plant a massive win for online gamers.”

On the other foot, here’s what Paul Wedgegood, CEO of Splash Damage, had to say about pairing with Nexon America:

“We spent a long time finding the right partner for us on Extraction. Nexon America’s vast experience and the fact that they’re a true trailblazer in the F2P PC game arena ultimately made the decision super easy for us. Extraction is a title we love making and playing, and hope that the collaborative nature of the game delivers a dynamic and fun experience for players.”

Extraction will release in North America, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia.

This comes after the PC version of Dead Space 2 was left out of EA’s fiscal year 2011 release line up. No reason has been given as yet for why the PC edition has been scrapped, particularly after EA in fact announced it along with its console brethren only a few months ago.

One can only speculate that the PC version of Dead Space sold too poorly to warrant a sequel.

In related news, a survey recieved by Kotaku has given suggestion that Dead Space Extraction, the Wii port of the game (which also sold poorly) could be making its way to the downloadable marketplaces of the major consoles some time in the future for as little as $15. The on-rails shooter acheived good review scores, but failed to sell on the Wii, possibly due to the market audience.

Dead Space 2 is expected to release on consoles and handhelds in Q1 2011.
