MYTHIC ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES EXPANSION FOR ITS WORLDWIDE HIT ONLINE GAME DARK AGE OF CAMELOT

FAIRFAX, VA - MAY 15, 2002 - Mythic Entertainment (www.mythicentertainment.com), creator of the multiple award winning massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) Dark Age of Camelot, today announced that the game's highly anticipated first expansion pack is currently in development. Dark Age of Camelot: Shrouded Isles is set for a late 2002 release and will continue setting new standards for online game-play. The game will be developed by Mythic Entertainment and co-published with Abandon Entertainment (www.abandonent.com).

Dark Age of Camelot: Shrouded Isles enriches and expands the mythological fantasy world of the original game by adding stunning new graphics and whole new areas to explore for each Realm. Players of Dark Age of Camelot: Shrouded Isles will also discover that the Realms will be populated with three new races and new character classes. As previously announced, the expansion will include a significant graphical upgrade to the game by utilizing DirectX 8.1 and the new NetImmerse 3D engine version 4.0 from Numerical Design Limited. This new technology will greatly improve overall graphical performance as well as provide support for advanced graphical features such as shadowing, more spectacular spell effects/animations, reflective surfaces, and much more.

"With the tremendous success of the original game, it made sense for us to start development on Shrouded Isles immediately," explained Mark Jacobs, President of Mythic Entertainment. "Shrouded Isles will add to the experience that has excited and intrigued players to date while updating the visual experience to draw them further into the worlds of Hibernia, Albion and Midgard."

Having recently passed the 200,000 mark for active subscribers worldwide after only seven months on the market, the original Dark Age of Camelot continues to excite the MMORPG world. With the games continued growth, including upcoming releases in the fertile Japanese and Korean markets, it won't be long before Dark Age of Camelot is competing for the number one MMORPG worldwide.


Dark Age of Camelot is an award-winning online world with features such as multiple class and race combinations, both player vs. player and player vs. environment action, and a robust trade skill system. "
