Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Headed to 360?

GameSpot is reporting that one of the players in the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning E3 demo was actually using an Xbox 360. I actually spent some hands-on time with the game at Mythic’s booth myself, but never noticed a 360 while I was there. According to GameSpot, though, the person was located in a “closely guarded” room, which is probably why I didn’t notice it myself:

What none of these players have realized, though, is that one of the “green-skins” questing alongside them is being controlled by a player not armed with a mouse and keyboard, but with a wireless Xbox 360 controller. That player is in a closely guarded room to the rear of Mythic’s booth.

To be clear, Mythic is not announcing an Xbox 360 version of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, but in what was purportedly a period of only six weeks, the developer has managed to get its game up and running on Microsoft’s new console simply to prove that it can be done. Given the content of Bill Gates’ “Live everywhere” speech at Microsoft’s pre-E3 conference, it seems that Mythic’s timing could hardly have been better. To quote one of Mythic’s senior staffers, “What Microsoft is talking about, here is a company that’s doing it.”
