A short while ago GOA and Mythic Entertainment announced their new ‘Call to Arms’ live expansion of the famous MMORPG Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning or WAR for short. Call to Arms will have a new dungeon zone called ‘Land of the Dead’ which is set in the desert realm of the Tomb Kings, and two new careers the Orc Choppa and the Dwarf Slayer. The Call to Arms live expansion will include a new Realm vs. Realm scenario and three in-game live events to mention a few features.
“The launch of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning was only the first step in our ongoing quest to make a great MMORPG that players will enjoy for years to come. Over the next few months, we are going to be treating our players to the first of our ‘live expansions’ planned for the game,” stated Mark Jacobs, VP and general manager of Mythic Entertainment. “With the addition of new careers and a huge Tomb Kings dungeon that is the spiritual successor to the Dark Age of Camelot dungeon, Darkness Fall, Call to Arms is an outstanding example of the massive amount of free content we are committed to delivering to WAR players now and in the future.”
“Since the launch of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, Mythic Entertainment and GOA have been committed to bringing European players a rich and enjoyable MMORPG experience,” commented Ghislaine Le Rhun Gautier, CEO of GOA. “The integration of these high quality, free ‘live expansions’ is a testament to both companies’ continuing dedication to WAR players in 2009.”
Orc Choppas are savage creatures that crave the thrill of a fight. They love causing destruction and will take on pretty much anything for the heck of it. On the other hand, Dwarf Slayers are intent on making up for past sins and are unrelenting creatures. They make very hardy opponents as they go head-on in battle with absolutely no regard for their own well-being.
“The Orc Choppa and Dwarf Slayer are two of the most iconic characters in the Warhammer universe, and I have no doubt WAR fans will go berserk for them,” said Jeff Hickman, executive producer of WAR. “Choppas represent the pure anarchy that the Greenskins embody, and the crazed, mohawk-sporting Slayers are their ideal archenemy. It won’t be long before you see both of them adding a new level of insanity to the Age of Reckoning!”
The Call to Arms live expansion for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning is expected to be available for free from early March throughout the beginning of June. This also includes a new free trial version of the game.
