Warhammer 40,000 MMO Just Announced!

[Pai Pai Master]

Any avid WH40k: Dawn of War player has to have felt a little tingly upon completion of the Dark Crusade expansion's ending, featuring a short teasure involving a bunch of planets at war with eachother. The first thing that came to mind when I saw that was "40k MMO!?"

Unfortunately it apparently had nothing to do with a Warhammer 40k MMO, but that's only because one was just announced and Relic isn't working on it. THQ and Games Workshop just announced that a new MMO based on the Warhammer 40,000 universe is currently in development.

That's all the details that are out for now though, but consider me excited. EVE Online is the only sci-fi MMO that's ever left any sort of impression on me, so hopefully this'll be a contender in the market. I'm itching bad for a good sci-fi MMO and having a good 40k MMO could just make things even better.

I am SO hopping on this and rolling Imperial Guard if and when(project could get cancelled) this comes out. Commisars FTW

Just announced? It's been on www.mmorpg.com for awhile now as one of the top 10 MMO's hyped up. I'm not a fan of Warhammer or anything, but the MMO looks rather interesting.

Yeah, this isn't new info. It's still interesting info, but not exactly new.

Re: Warhammer 40,000 MMO Just Announced!

You guys are thinking of the Warhammer fantasy MMO (Warhammer: Age of Reckoning) from EA/Mythic. This isn't based on Warhammer fantasy, it's based on Warhammer 40,000, and the first of its kind.

Lol, hopefully they won't take my main race out of the game again... Tyranids.. lol

Re: Warhammer 40,000 MMO Just Announced!

Yeah, I'm still pining for Tyranids in Dawn of War (and my Dark Eldar...sucks that the two factions in 40k I ever played are absent from the RTS game).

There are so many possibilities for how this game could be great or how much it could suck, but I guess we'll see, in due time.

Oh I see; yeah I was thinking of the fantasy MMO. I'm not really sure what 40,000 means, never been into Warhammer.

Re: Warhammer 40,000 MMO Just Announced!

It's the sci-fi counterpart to Warhammer Fantasy, takes place in 40th millenium.

Hope they put in Grey Knight Terminators and Harlequins.

Re: Warhammer 40,000 MMO Just Announced!

This sounds like it could be interesting, I read about the WH40k universe on Wiki but have never played it otherwise.

I seem to remember an announcement for a DS installment of the series, am I correct in thinking that?

Re: Warhammer 40,000 MMO Just Announced!

I don't remember hearing anything about that. As far as I know, THQ has not announced any projects involving Warhammer 40,000 between the original announcement of Dawn of War: Dark Crusade and this new MMO. I could have missed it, however.
