Mythic Entertainment?, an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) studio, today announced that the eagerly anticipated Dwarf Slayer and Orc Choppa careers are now playable in its award-winning MMORPG, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR). Based on the popular tabletop war game from Games Workshop, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning features revolutionary Realm vs. Realm&trade conflict that will provide players with an engaging battleground for years to come. Available now for PC, WAR is rated "T" for Teen by the ESRB.
The tattooed Slayer is the manifestation of the Dwarfs' obsession with honor, seeking only a heroic and honorable death in combat. However, dying quietly is simply not in his nature. In WAR, the Slayer is a ruthless and terrifying fighter, throwing himself into battle with no regard for his own well-being. He is a force to be reckoned with and relies on his ever-escalating rage to power each swing of his dual axes."The Call to Arms has sounded, and the realms of Order and Destruction have welcomed two new combatants to the frontlines of WAR - the head-bashin' Orc Choppa and oath-sworn Dwarf Slayer," said Mark Jacobs, VP and General Manager of Mythic Entertainment. "These new careers are brutal, unrelenting fighters who will stop at nothing to claim victory over their opponents on the Realm vs. Realm battlefields." The ornery and savage Choppa is an offensive juggernaut that embodies the love of a good fight found in every Orc.
