War of Legends Officially Launched and Screenshots Revealed

Cambridge, UK - 19th January 2010 - Jagex Games Studio, the UKs largest independent games company, today announced the release of its first third-party developed game, War of Legends. The game, which will be joining Jagexs established portfolio of over 40 free-to-play games, will be available to play from today and players eager to find out more can register for free at http://www.waroflegends.com.

War of Legends is a real-time strategy game based on Chinese myth law; living out the ancient legend, players either pledge their support to the incumbent, unscrupulous and merciless King or his valiant, righteous, yet unproven contender. Players will be required to rule empires, manage resources, and command vast armies to conquer their enemies, whilst attempting to defend their wealthy cities against similarly experienced armies in a bid to gain ultimate supremacy.

The free-to-play title continues whether players are online or offline, and features quests and a story that evolves as play continues.
