Electronic Arts has announced they will acquire Virginia-based developer Mythic Entertainment, which should be finalized by Q2 of next year. Mythic is best known for MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot, and is currently working on Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. According to Mythic co-founder and CEO Mark Jacobs, "EA's commitment to the online market as well as its focus on creating games of unsurpassed quality, scope and scale gives us opportunities and resources we could only dream about in the past."
This move strengthens EA's role-playing lineup, with Project Gray Company expected to arrive on next-gen consoles in early 2007.
