As announced earlier today , the launch of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning has been delayed until the middle of 2008. The upcoming massively multiplayer game is in development at Virginia-based studio EA Mythic, and takes place in a dark fantasy world originally created by UK tabletop game studio Games Workshop. The highly anticipated game will feature "realm-versus-realm" competitive gameplay that lets players play as a high-fantasy character and participate in large-scale online battles.

Today's delay is the latest chapter in Warhammer Online's long trek to launch. It was first unveiled in 2000 by developer Climax and Microsoft, only to be briefly canceled four years later. Then, after Climax developed the game solo for a few months, independent developer Mythic Entertainment picked up the license in 2005. In 2006, Electronic Arts bought Mythic and renamed it EA Mythic.
