In 2018, Malaysian developer NEXON launched a new Warhammer Age of Sigmar MMO called Mortal Empires. It is set in the same world as the games’ gloomy and grim tabletop counterpart, but with a few key differences—no magic-based gameplay or powerful heroes from other races such as elves and dwarves are allowed to fight in it.
Nexon is apparently working on a new Warhammer Age of Sigmar MMO. The game will be called “Age of Sigmar” and is expected to release in 2019.
According to a joint press announcement published by the firms this morning, Nexon and Games Workshop are partnering together on a new Warhammer MMO called Warhammer Age of Sigmar. We don’t have a release date, and we’re scared that Nexon may burst a blood vessel trying to avoid labeling the game an MMO, but um… what the company is describing is an MMO.
“A New PvE Social Multiplayer With Next-Generation RPG And Social Features In Development For Global Distribution On PC, Consoles, And Mobile, Supported By Nexon’s Best-In-Class Live Operations.” […] Built on the success of Age of Sigmar, the new Virtual World will have a socially engaging player-versus-environment world, as well as Nexon’s world-class Live Operations, which will keep the excitement going with new content and services. […] Virtual World for PvE Multiplayer RPG.”
We don’t know much more, save that when they mention mobile, they’re referring to both iOS and Android, and the list of supported languages hints to what they mean by global: “English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Traditional / Simplified), Russian, Turkish, Portuguese, and Arabic,” says the translator.
Warhammer MMOs have previously existed in the MMORPG community, such as Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (seen in the banner image above) and Warhammer 40K: Eternal Crusade, both of which have since ended. Warhammer Online is presently only accessible as a rogue server, but one of the greatest rogue servers for any game in the genre. This should be entertaining.
