Warhammer Online to be Revealed at E3 2004Posted on Monday, May 10, 2004 @ 04:59:43 pm E.S.T
Warhammer Online, the upcoming massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) set against the backdrop of Games Workshop’s grim and gritty Warhammer fantasy world will be showcased at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, May 12-14, 2004 (booth #2676, West Hall, L.A. convention center).
Set in a virtual re-creation of the Reikland, players take on the role of mercenaries and outlaws living on the margins of society, who through luck, skill and a trusty blade can rise to become powerful heroes – famous or feared throughout the Empire for their bloody deeds.
Warhammer Online game features include:
- The great cities of the Reikland with hundreds of locations, characters and quests. Much of the game play will take place in these vast urban dungeons where players can spend weeks or even months exploring their many winding streets, markets, palaces and sewer systems.
- An exciting and innovative character development system that encourages players to progress through the world and develop their characters in a unique, biographical and highly Warhammer way – Flagellant, Cut-throat or Anarchist.
- A unique skill-based magic system that gives every player the ability to practice spell casting.
- Player versus player combat integrated into the game through the same skill and career system. High-level careers are mutually antagonistic -- so if you choose to become a Bounty Hunter you will become PvP to Outlaws and vice versa.
- Custom-built massively multiplayer engine that delivers an incredible graphic environment including seasons and fully dynamic weather to create a constantly changing player experience.
Visitors to the Warhammer Online booth will get the exclusive chance to meet the development team behind the project, see a running demo of the game and receive an exclusive E3 press kit containing the latest game information and materials.
