The Land of the Dead opens in Warhammer Online
Mythic Entertainment has launched a new dungeon zone called The Land of the Dead for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning this week. Part of its Call to Arms live expansion, The Land of the Dead dungeon zone opens the treacherous deserts of Nehekhara to players with the addition of a new RvR-gated zone filled with dozens of new Public Quests, instanced lairs, and a massive new dungeon to search for the Casket of Souls.
Depending on a realm’s performance across each individual server during last week’s Rise of the Tomb Kings live event, either the Armies of Order or Destruction were the first to enter the new Tomb Kings themed zone. ‘The Land of the Dead’ launched yesterday to all Warhammer players after the winning realm in each server received exclusive 24-hour advanced access to The Land of the Dead to explore its many lairs, battle its menagerie of new monsters, and discover the unimaginable wealth it contains.

This big, hairy oaf uses willpower and super strength to fight crime when he’s not tending to his shiny gingery coat. His only weaknesses? Duct tape and razors. Now onto today’s news…
