On the day we signed the agreement to license Warhammer from Games Workshop, I
promised them that we would create a great and glorious game, a truly
next-generation MMORPG. Today, I have news to report; we are going to delay the
release of WAR until Fall 2008. While we do not expect this announcement to
be met with fanfare and cheering crowds; the additional time will be spent
hammering WAR into an even better
game that it is today.
During the most recent phase of beta testing, two things
have become clear. One was that our key
innovations - Public Quests, Tome of Knowledge and Realm vs. Realm combat -
were all coming along very well, as was the first stage of our innovative
crafting system. The second, that the
game would benefit from additional iteration time as well as adding a layer of
polish or two. Fortunately, as part of Electronic Arts, we are able to do just
that.
While I have no doubt that the community will experience a
wide range of emotions over this decision, I urge you to remember one thing
(and to keep the tar cold and the feathers on the birds), that our goal has
never been to release a game by a certain date but to release a great Warhammer MMORPG. We have not wavered from this goal and with
the full support of Games Workshop and Electronic Arts we intend to release a
glorious next-generation MMORPG.
As always, I thank the community for its support, patronage
and its patience.
Mark Jacobs
VP, GM EA Mythic
