Two big dogs, EA and Bioware, have thrown their hats into the PvP ring with the announcement of Warhammer Online : Wrath of Heroes. WoH a pvp arena based game will plunge players into an all out 18 player battle. Players are given the ability to change from one character to the next in mid combat, quickly turning the tide of battle. The game is being designed for a quick pvp “hit” or can be played for hours on end as you develop and level your characters. Oh, did I forget to mention it is a “Play4Free” game?
“We’re thrilled to expand our audience and deliver BioWare’s first Play4Free title with Wrath of Heroes,” said Dr. Ray Muzyka, Co-founder, BioWare and General Manager, BioWare Label. “PvP combat is without a doubt one of the most compelling experiences online. We’ve distilled down the essentials of that conflict – and delivered it with force.”
“We’re excited to continue to work with BioWare to bring a fresh take on the Warhammer Online experience to existing fans and new players everywhere,” said Andy Jones, Head of Legal and Licensing at Games Workshop PLC. “We believe this fantastic extension to Warhammer Online demonstrates the studios commitment to bringing the unique and defining PvP elements from Warhammer Online to a whole new audience with a level of quality and authenticity that will continue to delight our established fans.”
