WH40K: Dark Millennium aiming for March 2013 launch

After what seems like years of silence, THQ has finally offered a small bit of concrete information on the long-awaited MMORPG. Be warned, it’s not coming soon.

On THQ’s Dark Millenium website it was announced that the team is aiming for a March 13, 2013 release date.

This is the third THQ game to get a 2013 release date alongside Volition-Del Toro horror inSane and the Homefront sequel currently in development at Crytek for FY2014 (April 2013-March 2014). Perhaps they’re holding the game in development for a few years hoping World of Warcraft will continue to bleed subscribers.

Hopefully, this move to announce the prospective release date is a sign that THQ is ready to start talking about the game. We’re desperately hoping for some news about Dark Millenium to come out. We want to be excited for it, but at this point we’re still not even sure what it is.

Thanks, Massively.

To be honest, if SWTOR is anything to go by, MMO’s take fucking forever to make.

I’m ok with this. As long as it looks how they showed us it’s going to be a real deal.

“Which, at the very least, earns them the title of First Game to Announce a 2013 Release Date.”

Don’t mean to nitpick, but Millenium is actually spelled with 2 “n”s.

Good, take your long time to make this MMO really awesome, i think they should make good long open beta to polish the game to the maximum.

If they include Eldar, this is an insta-buy for me.

Eldar is definitely there. How can you make a MMORPG about Warhammer 40K universe without that pussy race that everyone likes to smash?

I like that race as how they look, but i don’t like their story and setting. They are pretty weak and whenever they try to do something Imperium, Space Marines or Chaos always smack their small asses.

I hope they are going to include Chaos. I like them a lot… hehe.. Evil Space Marines are AWESOME!

Early reports said the game would include all major 40K races.

I’m not sure about Taus, though. (lol)

I’m not sure that there will be Tau. Tau is a young race and t’s pretty much weak compared to The Holy Orders of the Emperor’s Inquisition.
