Mythic Entertainment's latest MMORPG, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, may - may - be smashing its way onto Microsoft's Xbox 360 as well as PC.
According to a report on GameSpot, at last week's E3 where Mythic was showcasing its PC MMO game, one of the Warhammer Online adventurers whom attendees were playing alongside was actually hidden away in the developer's booth controlling their character with a wireless Xbox 360 controller - the report going on to add that the website got to see PC and Xbox 360 versions of Warhammer Online running side-by-side at the event.
However... Apparently, Mythic's getting Age of Reckoning onto Xbox 360 is a proving-it-can-be-done exercise only, the developer not confirming it's in the pipeline for release - at this stage anyway. And the only other real slice of info on the game on 360 that the developer's let slip is that getting the title up and running on the console has actually led to improvements for the announced PC version.
So then, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning on Xbox 360, and cross-platform MMORPG action looms? Well, it certainly all seems possible, but we can only wait to see if we get an official announcement somewhere down the line.
