Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Image 1

We've got a bit of bad news for all the fans eagerly waiting for the release of EA Mythic's Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. According to Voodoo Extreme, EA Mythic's Mark Jacobs revealed in the latest Warhammer Online newsletter that the upcoming MMORPG has been delayed. Here's a quote from Jacobs:

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.

Apparently, the delay is due to some additional work being done on the Dwarf and Greenskin pairing in the game. "While these areas were good, they were not great and glorious," said Jacobs. "We have always said that WAR was going to be great and we will not settle for anything less. So the team has gone back to our initial pairing and conducted an intense review of their work."

The additional work has apparently payed off, though, as Jacob says that "there is now more war, more Warhammer, and more of what makes WAR great" in the Dwarf and Greenskin zones.
