The much loved table-top RPG is planning to receive an MMORPG makeover.
By Frederick Cannon
THQ has today confirmed plans to release an MMORPG based on the seminal science fantasy tabletop wargame Warhammer 40K. Work on the poject has been handed to THQ owned Austin-based developers, Vigil Games.
There have been numerous games based on Warhammer 40K in the past, usually in the form of real-time strategy games. Although an MMORPG based on Warhammer is already in production, this game will be exclusively centered around the 40K branch of the franchise.
This news also follows the announcement that THQ has signed a licensing deal for the Warhammer 40K franchise up until 2013. The publisher has yet to provide any additional information on the game, or even a release date, but we'll keep you updated as we find out more.
