In addition to a preview of "Imperator," Mythic will also unveil details of the next "Dark Age of Camelot" retail expansion pack at E3.
"'Imperator' is different and more ambitious than anything Mythic has ever done before, and we are excited to give players a live peek into what would otherwise be strictly a trade event," said Eugene Evans, vice president, marketing and business development at Mythic Entertainment.

The fan site kit and E3 booth cam offer fans a way to get involved even before the game's release."
The updated "Imperator" website, www.imperatoronline.com , also allows fans to sign up to receive the "Imperator" newsletter email. Mythic will regularly update the website with screenshots, concept art and developer diaries, and newsletter recipients will receive notification of new postings.

About "Imperator"
Currently in development, "Imperator" is a science-fiction MMORPG set in a distant future where the Roman Republic never fell. Small changes at crucial moments in Roman history create an entirely new timeline for Earth. When the game begins, new threats to the Republic have sprung up internally and from beyond its borders, making the galaxy more dangerous and the Republic itself less stable. "Imperator" features an accessible mission system, sci-fi weapons, multiple character profession paths, and a compelling alternate vision of our future.
