Game developer Frogwares is best known for their point-and-click adventure games, including the recently announced Sherlock Holmes Vs Jack The Ripper. Today it was revealed that the studio is branching out with plans to create a free-to-play online multiplayer strategy game, World of Battles.

The game's publisher Focus Home Interactive has launched a teaser web site for the game along with its first screenshots. The game's fantasy setting has nine races to choose from and players will be able to train and customise your army's units before going into online battle. There is one-on-one gameplay or you can choose to play with friends against other armies and team. While free to play , the game will also support micro-transactions to add more customizations to units and troops. World of Battles is expected to launch in March 2009.

You're kidding with this, right? World of Battles? Did they look up "warcraft" in a thesaurus and decide that Battles was close enough without being a complete rip-off of the name? Show some originality for peet's sake.
