New Warhammer®: Mark Of Chaos™ Screenshots And Artwork Now Available!
Thursday, 17th August 2006, Basingstoke, UK Namco Bandai Games America Inc. today unleashed a selection of stunning new screenshots and artwork from its upcoming real-time strategy game, Warhammer®: Mark of Chaos. These new assets provide a look at the game's epic battles, terrifying creatures, massive battalions and beautifully rendered backgrounds - allowing players to master the art of war.
In Warhammer: Mark of Chaos, the focus is set squarely on the battlefield with a real-time combat system that gives the player unprecedented customisation and control of his/her army. Warhammer: Mark of Chaos centres on the armies and battles, while de-emphasising the tedious aspects of base and resource management.
This heroic quest reveals a grand sense of both scale and detail in which monstrous demons and vast customisable armies clash with thousands of characters in intricately detailed environments. Buildable features and destructible terrains such as forests, swamps, plains and tundra change the shape of the battlefield and add a layer of strategy to provide players with infinite replayability.
Warhammer: Mark of Chaos is scheduled to hit the battlefield in the UK this autumn for the PC.
