Warhammer 40K MMO years away News

MMO News by Oli Welsh

8 April, 2008

THQ boss Brian Farrell has told paidContent.org that the publisher's Warhammer 40,000 MMO is "probably still a couple of years out".

This comes as no surprise - the project was only announced last March and no details have been released as yet.

Warhammer 40K Online is being developed by THQ-owned Vigil Games in Austin, Texas. Vigil is a new studio formed by comic artist Joe Madureia, and it's also working on Darksiders: Wrath of War.

Almost everyone we mention EA Mythic's Warhammer Online to says, "Great, but what about a Warhammer 40K MMO?" So we'd imagine there will be quite a few interested eyes on this during those next couple of years. Including ours.

Same as dark edge - never really got into Warhammer, but was always more interested in the 40k stuff.

Well, Space Crusade and Space Hulk anyway...

I believe you've spelled Madureira wrong. Still, good news on the 40k game, I was starting to think it was going to be vaporware. :(

This has better include massive realm PvP ina DAOK style... WH40K is all about the war, not the adventuring.

as ive always said, if they can beat blizzard to the genre then they will pretty much have the market cornered, and probably be able to level it with a Bolter! (with 1d6 modifiers ofc :P)

shouldn't we have a listing for 40k in the 'Other MMOs' list?
