MMORPG Warhammer Online Comes to Mac – Age of Reckoning for Apple
EA Brings Warhammer: Age of Reckoning to Apple’s Mac PC
Electronic Arts (EA) recently announced a beta version of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning for Apple’s Mac Computer. While the game is currently still in the Beta version the popular MMORPG is slated for final release for fall of this year.
Executive producer for Warhammer Online, Jeff Hickman told fans “The MMORPG audience continues to expand, and that means gamers eager to experience War aren’t all playing on a PC,”
“We want as many players as possible to experience the glory of Realm vs. Realm combat, and bringing War to the Mac makes this an exciting reality.”
Hickman went on to explain that the port of the popular MMORPG was designed using the Cider Portability Engine which was developed by Transgaming. The engine acts as a wrapper for the game which makes it possible to run the game seamlessly on Intel-Based Macs.
He went on to mention that unfortunately the game will not run on PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) based Mac systems (PowerMac) due to the fact that it is not compatible with the GMA 950 integrated video cards.
Additional system requirements for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning for Mac are:
- Mac OS X 10.5.7 Leopard or higher
- 2 gigabytes of system memory (RAM)
- ATI X1600 or NVidia 7300 GT 128mb+ Video Memory
If you would like to participate in the beta version of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning for Mac, the beta version can be downloaded from Mythic Entertainment here.
