If you aren't in Austin you are no one, part 2 (Warhammer 40k)

What did I tell you, hm?

I saw this coming miles away. Obviously from THQ.

I read a while ago that Relic (the makers of Company of Heroes and WH40k Dawn of War) was actively hiring for an unannounced MMO project. Link the dots...

Warhammer 40k mmorpg officially announced.

Problem is that the dots were wrong. I thought Relic was the last good game studios left who could make a decent MMO. Instead it's not Relic working on this. It's another FRIGGIN Austin-based studios named Vigil Games.

The team there is led by David Adams, formerly of NCsoft, and is comprised of several MMO veterans from that community. We look forward to making further announcements with more specifics on the game in the coming months.

More incest going on.

From where are these devs leaking? ;)

Two warhammer MMO's.

This is no doubt going to be like when there are two movies with the same plot, but you can only go to the cinema once.

The WH and WH40k universes have diverged a lot in lore and story development. The only major common element is the "order" vs. "chaos" struggle, and the fact that the races are somehow similar (Elves/Eldar, Orcs/Orks, Dwarves/Squats and Empire/Space Marines+IG). I've been an avid WH/WH40k gamer for most of the last 15 years and I would enjoy to play two MMO games based on the Games Workshop franchises if both are good.

But you are correct insofar as the monthly fee and time requirement will probably limit people to only one game.
