Update on the Warhammer 40k MMO
Filed under: Sci-fi, New titles, Warhammer 40k
Buried way at the bottom of an article on the Gamasutra site about an investor call with THQ was a small update on the progress of the in-development Warhammer 40k MMOG. You may recall the game as one of our Top Ten MIA MMOs from 2007. So where is this THQ-licensed, Dawn of War-inspired title nowadays?
THQ president Brian Farrell notes that he just recently saw the game at the Austin studio in November. He was "pleasantly surprised" by its progress, but also noted that the game was "still very early". Despite that, it sounds as though the folks at THQ are ready to take the time to do this right. So, while we shouldn't expect the game out any time soon, the developers are definitely being given the time they need to do right by this license.

I can not describe the desire I have to play this MMO. One of the best IPs out there, such a fantastic Universe to dive into, fighting for the glory of the Emperor, or you can beat up all da ’umiez an’ chaoz followerz wiv a ’uge choppa more chopperz comin’ out of your chopperz WAAAGH!
WAR will be a good game to fill in the time between now and the release of this title, they need to release some screenshots/concept art soon! I wonder if Starcraft could stand up to the might of 40k…
