FAIRFAX, Virginia - March 27, 2008 - Mythic Entertainment^TM, an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) studio, and The Black Library, a division of Games Workshop, have announced that the original Warhammer® novel DARK STORM GATHERING is now available in stores. The second in a series based on the award-winning MMORPG, Warhammer® Online: Age of Reckoning® (WAR), DARK STORM GATHERING is a tale of blood, treachery, and Chaos in a world perpetually at WAR!

Penned by Black Library author Chris Wraight, DARK STORM GATHERING tells the story of an unlikely party of adventurers forced to form an uneasy alliance with the armies of the Empire to repel the forces of Chaos. With the grim march of the Tchar'zanek, Champion of the fell powers of Chaos, underway and the Empire of Man suffering from plague and mutations, only the intervention of the High Elves offers respite. However, they are beset by foes of their own, the murderous Dark Elves. When the prospect of treachery behind Imperial lines looms, four heroes - Archmage, White Lion, Witch Hunter and Knight of the Blazing Sun - must work together to uncover the corruption before all is lost.

"Chris Wraight has crafted a dark tale that thrusts players into the frontlines of the war between Order and Destruction. It's packed to the brim with blood, battles, and all the things that make the Warhammer world so gripping," said Mark Jacobs, VP and General Manager at Mythic Entertainment. "DARK STORM GATHERING captures the essence of WAR perfectly."
