It is now official: There's a War coming to Russia. Warhammer, that is, and as of the 13th, they have announced a totally Ruskie version of their MMORPG which will release on February 5th. Additionally, the servers will be regional and they will be offering Russian language support. First released in North Amerca, Europe and Oceania in September, this will be the first major expansion-of-base for Warhammer, showing that it has what-it-takes to compete with the current king of MMO's, WoW. Additionally, our Russian friends will be offered three different packs, including the collector's edition, limited edition steel book and a simple jewel case version.

Warhammer® Online: Age of Reckoning® continues its worldwide march as Mythic Entertainment™, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio, today announced that the fully localized Russian version of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning will go live on February 5, 2009. The Russian version of WAR will feature a fully localized gameplay experience as well as regionally-based servers and customer support.

And those of you getting this will be lucky enough to get a brand-new, non-CD Coaster to go with it! We here at Allakhazam are full of envy and spite, but we will just have to get over it.
