GOA, Orange’s games and Mythic Entertainment have announced that the open beta for the highly anticipated MMORPG, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, is to begin on September 7, 2008.

Hundreds of thousands of fans will be able to enter the fantasy world of WAR and experience Realm vs Realm (RvR) combat before the game goes live worldwide on September 18, 2008. European gamers can get into the open beta by pre-ordering WAR or visiting the EA Store to sign up for a limited number of slots.

“For three years we have been saying that ‘WAR is coming’ and the team has been working hard to deliver on this promise,” said Mark Jacobs, co-founder and general manager of Mythic Entertainment. “In just a few weeks, we are going to throw open our doors and invite more players into the game than ever before. They will have a chance to delve into the open beta and see for themselves that WAR has arrived and it is glorious!”

The EA Store will host the open beta client for Europe and the site will be offering 75,000 open beta keys. Keys will be available to download on a first-come, first-served basis. Players who have already participated in the European closed beta will automatically be granted open beta access.
