Sony Online Entertainment desires to test if MMO lands are fertile in foreign territories such as Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). As a first step, the big conglomerate agrees to sign a deal with Koch Media that includes hit title EverQuest II, its back expansion packs, and forthcoming Vanguard: Saga of Heroes.

Koch Media Executive Craig McNicol reveals, "Our cooperation with Sony Online Entertainment began some months ago with Planetside Invasion." The officer then added that they hit the deal through handling well the trust given to them by Sony. "We firmly believe in the future of the MMO genre," McNicol further shares.

Everquest II was already released while Vanguard is expected to come out early next year.
