Anyone have a clue as to what system this game will use?

From Wikipedia.

There is some dispute among roleplaying enthusiasts on when the concept of a generic system originated and which was the first one published. It is clear that the development of the HERO System from the superhero RPG Champions was a profound influence in popularizing the concept. The publication of GURPS (Generic Universal Role-Playing System) as a completely setting-independent game and its commercial and creative success added credence to the movement. It truly became a dominant subject in RPG design with the release of the Third Edition of Dungeons & Dragons and the creation of the Open Gaming License (OGL) and the d20 System.

It is frequently disputed whether d20, which requires massive alteration with each new genre because of its class and level system, really qualifies as a generic system. Similarly, Chaosium's Basic Role-Playing is sometimes considered a generic system, since it serves as the basis of several games in different genres, but the booklet itself is so rules-light that each genre game has had to expand the basic rules substantially.

Other influential generic systems include:

• Eden Studios' Unisystem
• Grey Ghost Press' FUDGE
• Guardians of Order's Tri-Stat System
• Pinnacle Entertainment Group's Savage Worlds
• R. Talsorian Games's Fuzion and Interlock System
• West End Games's D6 System and Masterbook system.

Or perhaps will the game use some newly devised system Mythic came up with?

Alot of WAR's design is coming from the Warhammer RPG books ... atleast thats MY understanding.   Whether or not they're using Warhammer RPG's mechanics is an unknown.  They've never talked about, most MMO's don't tell you what specific system they're using its just obvious in some like DDO which ones they're using.

 

Alot of companies base their RPG 'mechanics' or rule set as RPGers call it off various ones or come up with their own.  Its really not that difficult paper wise to create a ruleset.  Its just difficult to upkeep it hehe.

 

Most likely what ever mechanics WAR is using is of their own design.
