Warhammer Online Returns

Posted by Zonk on from the zombie-mmog! dept.

Mythic Studios, developers of Dark Age of Camelot and Imperator, has announced that Warhammer Online will resume development under their auspices. The deceased massive game was supposed to be back in production at independent studio Climax, but from the announcement on the official Warhammer site it seems clear that Mythic is now running the show. From the article: "Mythic Entertainment, developer and publisher of massively-multiplayer online role-playing games including Dark Age of Camelot and the upcoming Imperator today announced that they have secured the exclusive worldwide, rights to create massively multiplayer online games for PC and console set in the fantasy world of Warhammer created by Nottingham, UK-based Games Workshop Group PLC. The first game based upon the dark, medieval world of Warhammer will be released on PC in 2007." No word yet on a title, or whether this new game will be using any of the concepts, art, or code from the original development cycle.

    How is it the first? What about Dark Omen, and Shadow of the horned rat?

    Of course it's about money; they're a business. Surely you don't expect them to go bankrupt just so that you can play a game?
