FAIRFAX, VA – April 6, 2006 - Mythic Entertainment(R), a developer and
publisher of critically-acclaimed massively-multiplayer online role-playing
games (MMORPG’s), today released assets from their upcoming MMORPG
“Warhammer(R) Online: Age of Reckoning(TM)” (WAR), including screenshots,
concept art, character renders, maps and logos. Scheduled for release in
2007 on the PC, “WAR” is based on Games Workshop’s epic Warhammer fantasy
world, and features an innovative next-generation Realm vs. Realm(TM) (RvR)
combat system.

The latest “Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning” assets offer a preview of
two of the MMORPG’s six playable races - the Dwarfs and the Greenskins (Orcs
and Goblins) - and their territories. Mortal enemies, the Dwarfs and
Greenskins are locked in perpetual conflict in a world where war is truly
everywhere.

The screenshots show off “WAR’s” Dwarfs and Greenskins in various levels of
armor, playable zones including Ekrund, Bloodhorn and the Marshes of
Madness, plus a few monsters like the river troll. “WAR” character models,
zone maps, architecture and siege weapons are highlighted in the concept art
and renders.

Episodic gaming, season 2 is now available on DVD.
There is an excellent article at Guardian Unlimited that takes a well-rounded look at episodic gaming. Shane Dabiri of Blizzard Entertainment voiced his opinion on the subject.

"So, episodic gaming looks set to significantly shake up the games industry. But will it breed the never-ending game? Even though he is a key man behind the world's leading massively multiplayer online (MMO) game, Shane Dabiri isn't convinced: "Some massively multiplayer games have persisted for many years - many people are still playing StarCraft, a real-time strategy game we released in 1998. As for how long an episodic or regularly updated game could maintain an audience's interest, I suspect it's for as long as the game experience continues to provide value to the player.""
