Vivendi Universal Publishing and Mythic Entertainment have announced that they have signed a distribution deal for Dark Age of Camelot's North American release. This deal gives Vivendi the rights to "market, manufacture, and distribute" the massively-multiplayer online RPG for a fall 2001 release.

Dark Age of Camelot is a fantasy MMORPG which is entrenched in Arthurian, Norse, and Celtic mythologies. The game rewards players for team - based actions, and is meant to cut down on "player - killing" which is often a bane of the majority of online games. There will also be a variety of classes and races for players to choose.

Vivendi Universal Publishing is an universal publisher of a variety of entertainment mediums including books, music, educational tools, and health information. In addition, they own Sierra Studios and Blizzard Entertainment which are both strong game developers.
