SEOUL, South Korea - Following up on their major update, CJ E&M today launched a new tournament for their seafaring MMO Uncharted Waters Online.

The race to circumnavigate the globe begins today! In 1522, Magellan completed his journey around the world via the West Passage, an achievement that revealed the ocean's deepest secrets. As a result, nations from around the world sent their own top explorers to discover new territories and bolster the nation's reputation. To pay tribute to Magellan's historic voyage, Uncharted Waters Online is hosting the World Race Challenge, pitting players head to head in a tense race around the world! After activating the quest, races are independently managed, rewarding the top 20 fastest explorers with awesome prizes (and bragging rights to boot).
