Mythic: 'You Should Expect a Warhammer Online Expansion in the Near Future'

Posted August 14, 2009 by David Radd

While Warhammer Online initially sold over 1.2 million copies, the subscriber base has settled at the considerably smaller total of 300,000. Despite the regression in the number of players, there is no lack of future Warhammer universe content that could be added and it seems Mythic still has plans to expand the game.

"It remains a priority for the studio, and we're working closely with BioWare to see where EA games logo wants to go with it," said Mythic Entertainment Producer Josh Drescher exclusively to IndustryGamers. "Ray Muzyka from BioWare has a very long term plan for the future and we've had to think further into the future because of that. Most of existence, our studio has been on a shoestring budget so we couldn't think far ahead, but we just finished up a major patch for Warhammer Online and there's a lot of stuff we're thinking about improving and enhancing the gameplay experience and guaranteeing that product lives up to the legacy of the Warhammer franchise. You should expect an expansion in the near future."
