Warhammer Online due Q2 2008

European publisher clears up confusion over release date

Following previous reports that MMO Warhammer Online had disappeared from EA's release schedule, Eurogamer has learned that the game is still on course to be released in the second quarter of this year.

Developer EA Mythic announced a delay from the first to the second quarter of this year back in November. According to GOA, which is taking publishing duties off EA's hands in Europe, this position hasn't changed.

"Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning is still planned for a Q2 2008 release," European product manager Rahim Attaba told us. "The beta is doing well, and the feedback we have from the testers is really good," he added.

A spring release would put Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning in a head-to-head fantasy MMO clash with Funcom's Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, due on May 20.
