FAIRFAX, VA - September 30, 2005 - Mythic Entertainment, developer and publisher of massively-multiplayer online role-playing games, today announced that in addition to their ongoing retail releases for the critically acclaimed Dark Age of Camelot(R), existing and future expansion packs will be available through digital distribution for the first time in the game's history. Players can now activate the critically acclaimed expansion pack, Catacombs™, and pre-order the upcoming expansion, Darkness Rising™, through a new in-game menu option. Once activated players can easily download and install the expansions to immediately experience the new features and content that each expansion brings to the game.



"For four years we have continually improved Dark Age of Camelot with both free and paid content to ensure that the game remains one of the industry leaders. We are excited to offer this new service to our subscribers providing them with almost immediate access to the latest major expansions for the ever-expanding world of Dark Age of Camelot," says Mark Jacobs, President and CEO of Mythic Entertainment.
