NEWS: 15 March 2007 10:01 GMT by Chris Ford Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning from Mythic Entertainment is setting itself up to be a major rival to World of Warcraft for all fantasy MMO fans out there. Warhammer has a long, distinguished pedigree, being part of the Games Workshop stable of franchises and the online MMO is set to launch in both Europe and the US during Autumn 2007 with the help of publishers and online operational team GOA. Age of Reckoning features next generation Realm vs. RealmT (RvR) game play that integrates Player vs. Player (PvP) and Player vs. Environment (PvE) combat into a seamless, cutting edge, massively multiplayer online experience. "We are thrilled to be partners with Mythic again and build on the 5-year relationship and experience that we've been enjoying with their team", commented Ghislaine Le Rhun, Senior Vice President of GOA. "Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning has tremendous potential and we intend to treat the game with all the care it deserves. Mythic's expertise in building deep PvP features, which guarantee long-term fun, will make WAR a unique game. Add to this the amazingly rich Warhammer universe, epic adventures, humour, and a very intuitive user experience, and you end up with a future blockbuster. We look forward to showing the game to European players." "The initial partnership between Mythic and GOA resulted in Dark Age of Camelot being the number one MMORPG in Europe for many years", said Mark Jacobs, CEO and President of Mythic Entertainment. "With WAR our goal is nothing less than to take Europe by storm and regain that leadership position in the European market."
