E3 2010: Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millenium Online trailer, screenshots debut

After the release of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, some people were wondering when an MMO based on the Warhammer 40,000 universe. A Warhammer 40k had also been rumored and wished for quite a while though nothing ever came of the rumors and the wishes lead to nothing themselves. That was true, at least until now.

Sure it was confirmed. Nothing at all, even in terms of basic concept art specifically for the game, had been released when it was confirmed. So even a group saying they’re working on something, especially if a tight enough lid kept on it, it still seems like a rumor. It even still felt like a rumor when they announced that the game would pay for itself if they reached only (only being used in comparison to more established MMOs) one million subscribers. Again, due to the lack of even concept art specifically for the game outside of codex art that could be screwed up in translation from rulebook to computer game, that was true until now.

Vigil Games’ Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium Online had screenshots and a trailer made their debut this E3. Sure, not much in the way of details have been given yet. More details (in terms of the gameplay, playable classes and races, etc.) should start coming out by GamesCon. This is according to Vigil’s website.

If the screenshots and the trailer have anything to tell us, dear god. It looks like the iconic look and the mood of the game is done perfectly for one of the first times outside of strategy games. I know what some fans of the franchise are going to be wondering so Vigil, I’m going to throw this out there. Hopefully Tau, Necrons and Tyranids are also incorporated into the game. They’re hard to really capture in terms of gameplay, yes. However, they are just as integral to the franchise as the Imperium (Guard, Inquisition, Space Marines, etc), the Eldar, Chaos (daemons and Chaos Marines) and the Orks. Also to Vigil and THQ, from what was shown, kudos at putting together something this appealing.

Without further delay, here is a look at the trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium Online.
