YouGamers reports on the contents of the April, 2007 Warhammer Online
newsletter, in which EA/Mythic reveals they have pushed the release date for the
upcoming Warhammer MMORPG to 2008, a release previously slated for some time
this year (
story). Word is:
We have made the decision to
move our ship date for the US and Europe to the first quarter of 2008. (Release
dates for Asia will be announced at a later date.) Since our acquisition by EA,
we have been afforded many wonderful development opportunities and we plan to
take full advantage of everything that is available. This includes taking
several additional months to make the best MMORPG possible.
By extending our development time, we'll be able to do these in-depth reviews
several times prior to launch to ensure all areas of WAR benefit from the
experience of ongoing development. EA is totally supportive of our decision and
are behind us 100%. We all believe WAR will be the next great MMORPG and being
part of EA affords us the time we need to make it so. It is EA's ongoing
commitment to quality that will allow us, and other EA studios, to deliver great
games, now and in the future.
