Today EA Mythic confirmed a September 18th release date for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. While the game will release in Asia on the 23rd, US and Europe will be able to smash through orcs and goblins a few days sooner.
Amongst other things the press release let us know that the WAR subscription will remain at the industry standard of $14.99. Only slightly more interesting was the news that pre-orders will receive a few bonus goodies for being sensible and dropping their ten bucks to reserve the game:
- * Open beta admission: Pre-order customers can experience the glory of battle and the thrill of WAR by participating in the open beta test.
- * Head Start program: Players can begin their adventures in the Age of Reckoning before the game's official launch.
- * Bonus in-game items: Players can equip their characters with two bonus in-game items by pre-ordering from select retail partners.
- * Universal Fighting System Battle Deck: The Emperor Karl Franz and Tchar'zanek, dread Champion of Tzeentch, go head-to-head in this exclusive collectible card game from Fantasy Flight Games. (Available in a limited supply from select retailers.)
'Glory of battle, eh?' Well, perhaps it might be so, and EA Mythic's Creative Director Paul Barnett would certainly agree. Over on the Comic-Con website, they've posted an article covering Barnett's secrets to becoming a Creative Director. Hint: there may be a casting couch involved, but it's a spiky virtual one with a hell of a quest reward.
