Perfect World Entertainment Inc today announced that Perfect World International: Genesis, the  fourth expansion for its flagship massively multiplayer online role-playing game, will be released on March 2, 2011. Since launching on September 2, 2008, Perfect World International has seen remarkable growth with three previous expansions, "Rising Tide," "Age of Spirits" and "The Lost Empire."

"Along with previous expansions, Perfect World International: Genesis highlights our commitment to bring new and unique online gaming experiences to our players," said Jonathan Belliss, Director of Marketing for Perfect World Entertainment, Inc. "The sheer amount of manpower and resources that have gone into this project are paramount, making this our most ambitious expansion to date."

In Perfect World International: Genesis, players will witness the fulfillment of the ancient Pan Gu prophecy that foretold the destruction of Perfect World.
