In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war—and subscription plans (probably).
The massively multiplayer Warhammer 40K-themed game, called Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium Online has finally gotten a release date after being kept under wraps for these past couple of years since it first went into development.
THQ just updated the game’s official website to state that the game is planned for a March 13, 2013 release. Being a year and a half away, it’s for certain that the game will go head to head with Blizzard’s upcoming Titan project, which is set to surpass World of Warcraft—assuming it’s out by then.
On the very edge of the galaxy lies the Sargos Sector. For centuries it was rendered uninhabitable and isolated by volatile Warp Storms. Even now, deep within the sector the very fabric of reality is unraveling. Only the ancient Sentinel Devices hold the Warp at bay.
But the ravages of time and meddling of humanity have weakened the Sentinel Devices—and now, the battle for these lost worlds is at hand. Drawn to the conflict, the great races of the galaxy descend upon the Sargos Sector, seeking to preserve reality—or to tear it asunder.
Side with the forces of Order, or the vile hosts of Destruction, in a war that will unlock ancient secrets, reveal dark purposes, and determine the fate of the Sargos Sector. For in this dark millennium, there is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter.
The announcement may signify THQ’s willingness to reveal more about the game in the coming weeks and months. Needless to say, I’ve got my eyes peeled on this one.
