North America. In addition, the title is receiving significant media

attention, picking up numerous critic awards at this year’s

E3, including “Best PC Game”

from G4’s XPlay, “Best

the last three years, the entire team at Mythic has poured their hearts

into making Warhammer Online the next great MMORPG. We are so

excited to open up this world and share it with the fans that will live

in it, quest in it, go to war in it and make it come alive.”
