Publisher THQ has announced that Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium yet no massively multiplayer online game will be. THQ has no pull in the extra investment needed for a mmog and change therefore the price.

Instead of a mmog is Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium the single-player game with an online multiplayer. That made THQ on Thursday announced. The game was initially announced as an mmog, but THQ’s search for a partner for that idea to be able to perform resulted in a long time. That now seems to have meant that the publisher chooses a different direction with the game.

According to THQ, the choice is for a single player with a multiplayer component is the best solution for the project. The company gave in to the Thursday statement issued to the trust in the work that is already in the project, but a mmog is not more to aspire to. If for some reason this gave the company that the conditions on the market changed and it will become a mmog additional investment would involve.

The change of course goes hand in hand with a reduction of the team working on Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium. At the Texas ontwikkelstudio Vigil Games are 79 full-time developers of the project are achieved, while when the Vancouver resident studio Relic Entertainment 39 people anything else may do. It is not clear whether those employees will be dismissed or that they have other projects and work.

The measure seems to be directly related to the difficult financial situation that THQ currently is. In January, word spread that the ailing THQ is preparing for a possible sale and that the Warhammer 40,000-mmog cancelled. THQ denied that last, but did not comment on a possible sale. At the beginning of February it became known that the company has 240 employees on the street continued.
