Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning is a forthcoming MMORPG based on the Warhammer Fantasy universe. It is currently under development by EA Mythic, the studio behind the popular MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot, and is slated for release in Q1 2008. The game's official acronym is WAR, standing for Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning.

The central theme of the game revolves around the continual worldwide conflict most Warhammer settings are well known for, and almost every aspect of the game will be geared towards omnipresent, constant war. Mythic will be using their trademark Realm vs. Realm PvP system in WAR, which is the same system used in Dark Age of Camelot. The two alliances, Order and Destruction, will each be divided into 3 armies, and each army will consist of four playable careers (classes).

The three armies of Order are the Empire, Dwarfs, and High Elves, and the three Destruction armies are Dark Elves, Greenskins (Orcs and Goblins), and Chaos. While each army is usually composed of one race, the Greenskins are composed of two, Orcs and Goblins; giving WAR seven playable races. However each army will still only have four careers from which to choose. The Greenskins army will divide its four careers, giving two to the Orcs and two to the Goblins.
