Asian gaming giant Nexon is expanding into the West, one game at a time. Today, it is announcing that it will launch a massive trading card strategy game, Mabinogi Duel, in Western markets.

The title is based on the same universe of Mabinogi, an 11-year- online game with a Welsh mythology at its heart. It is still popular, and Nexon Korea, a division of Tokyo-based Nexon, hopes to cash in on that popularity with Mabinogi Duel, which is about to begin its closed beta sign-ups.
