Over at EA Mythic, there's a job opening. Not just any job, mind you, but a slot for a producer. The producer's job is to move Warhammer Online to consoles, or so we assume. Other job advertisements seem to further the idea that Warhammer is turning towards consoles -- Microtransaction Engineer? AI Engineer (for next-gen consoles)? It seems likely, but perhaps there's simply another game in the works.

Then again, why wouldn't more MMO's hop onto the now-gen consoles? Heh, we said "now-gen" since technically the next-gen is now... what with all consoles released. Anyway, we've (read: I've) never played the Warhammer Online, so if any of you have, feel free to leave a loving memory of the game and give us your thoughts on if it would survive the transition to consoles.

New Warhammer Online screensGames Workshop's Warhammer franchise has provided the setting for multiple PC strategy titles over the past ten years including Shadow of the Horned Rat, Dark Omen, and the recently released Mark of Chaos. Next year, Electronic Arts plans to bring the popular fantasy realm into the MMO market with Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.

Speaking with GameSpot earlier this month, lead designer Steve Marvin said Reckoning will be the "best-looking massively multiplayer RPG out there". See if you agree with him by checking out developer Mythic Entertainment's (Dark Age of Camelot) massive gallery, which was just updated with over a dozen new screen shots.

EA acquires Mythic EntertainmentElectronic 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.
