Mythic Entertainment today announced the March to June roll-out of the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning expansion, Call to Arms.

The free expansion will feature two highly anticipated new careers – the Orc Choppa and the Dwarf Slayer – and a new dungeon zone called Land of the Dead, set in the desert realm of the Tomb Kings.

The expansion will also include three in-game live events, a new Realm vs. Realm scenario, added functionality to the Realm Wars section of the WAR website, the opening of the official WAR Forums and a new free trial version of the game.

“The launch of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning was only the first step in our ongoing quest to make a great MMORPG that players will enjoy for years to come. Over the next few months, we are going to be treating our players to the first of our ‘live expansions’ planned for the game,” said Mark Jacobs, VP and general manager of Mythic Entertainment. “With the addition of new careers and a huge Tomb Kings dungeon that is the spiritual successor to the Dark Age of Camelot dungeon, Darkness Falls, Call to Arms is an outstanding example of the massive amount of free content we are committed to delivering to WAR players now and in the future.”

Call to Arms Live Expansion Schedule

Call to Arms: Bitter Rivals Live Event (March): Successful completion allows head start access to the new Orc Choppa and Dwarf Slayer careers. The event will also include the new Chaos-themed RvR Scenario, Twisting Tower.

Two New Careers Join WAR (March): The Orc Choppa and Dwarf Slayer answer the Call to Arms.

Call to Arms: Beyond the Sands Live Event (April): Details to be revealed soon.

Call to Arms: Rise of the Tomb Kings Live Event (May): The race between Order and Destruction players begins to unlock the Land of the Dead for their Realm.
