Mythic Entertainment has announced that Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning will be shut down on December 18, 2013. The closure is the result of an expiring licensing agreement with Games Workshop. As a result, players will no longer be able to purchase three months game time starting today.
“We here at Mythic have built an amazing relationship working with Games Workshop creating and running Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning over the last 8 years,” Mythic said in a statement. “Unfortunately, as with all licensing deals they do eventually come to end and on December 18th, 2013 we will no longer be operating Warhammer Online.”
Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning was originally released for the PC on September 18, 2008. The announcement of its closure comes exactly five years since its release.
