Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning details

Best known for its Dark Age of Camelot MMO, Mythic Entertainment’s latest project is Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Based on the hugely popular Games Workshop property, the game will feature Realm vs. Realm gameplay that integrates PvP and PvE combat.

“WAR is coming!” proclaimed Mark Jacobs, President and CEO at Mythic Entertainment. “We’re well into our first year of intensive design and development on the game that we believe will usher in the next generation of truly great MMO’s. With our expertise in RvR and a rich fantasy setting that is in a perpetual state of conflict, WAR promises to be a game unlike any other.”

“The core concept behind WAR is simple – war is everywhere,” explains Lance Robertson, Producer of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. “This world, dominated by force of arms and magic, provides a wonderfully rich setting for an MMO. Our game will give player entrance into this world to experience the epic nature of war and the glory of battle. Every aspect of the game, including PvE content, is geared towards the greater war in some important way.”

Sadly for MMO and Warhammer fans, Age of Reckoning won’t be making a retail appearance until some time in 2007.
