Nexon America Inc. announced the release of its massively multiplayer online dance title 'Audition'. Nexon’s Audition is a virtual community where players can chat with their friends and battle in intense dance-off competitions. Featuring songs from top artists and dynamic music composed exclusively for the game, Audition is free-to-play and subscription-free.
Hilary Duff will lend her latest single “With Love” to the virtual dance floor, bolstering the library of hit songs already featured in the game. “One of the biggest ways I connect with my fans is online,” says Hilary Duff. “And now with Audition, I have a cool new venue where I can share my music. Not to mention, I can’t wait to see all the crazy and original dance competitions featuring ‘With Love.”
“Gamers are turning to the online world not just to battle enemies and car-jack pedestrians, but to ‘hang-out’ and interact with their peers,” says John H. Chi, president and chief executive officer of Nexon America. “Audition provides teens a trendy virtual scene where they can socialize with their friends and participate in dance-offs to their favorite songs. It also offers people another way to find and listen to new music.”

In Audition, players can purchase in-game apparel and accessories, such as designer clothes, hip haircuts, and over 180 faces that come with their own numerous and unique expressions, that enable them to create one-of-a-kind identities.
