THQ has announced that with its new 8-year exclusive worldwide Warhammer 40,000 licensing agreement with Games Workshop, the company now has expanded its previous console, handheld and PC rights -- the latter of which saw the company publishing Relic developed RTS Dawn of War -- to include both wireless devices and MMOs."We realized this is one of those few properties that has a high level of interest from the hardcore gaming community, which could be a great launching point to turning it into a great mainstream mass-market MMO," he says. "So we worked with Games Workshop, broadened our license, extended it out, and are announcing that we're putting the MMO into development down in Austin, TX."    You can buy cheap wow gold here !

"The Dawn of War franchise has been very successful for us, with over 2 million units worldwide now between the lead title and the expansions," Flock explains, "and we realized one of the things the development community continues to acquire about with us is what were we doing in the MMO space with this property."As part of the announcement, THQ has announced that the company is partnering with Austin, TX startup Vigil Games to begin working on a Warhammer 40,000 MMO, so Gamasutra talked with executive vice president of worldwide publishing Kelly Flock -- himself no stranger to overseeing MMO development as former CEO of Sony Online Entertainment -- to find out more. THQ acquired the studio in March of 2006 "to put some next-gen stuff into development," Flock says, but, "as we started looking at branching out into the MMO space with 40,000, it turned out that Dave Adams is one of the world's leading authorities on the Warhammer 40,000 universe -- good or bad," he laughs, "and had a great deal of passion for it."  Buy cheap wow gold here ,we have cheap wow gold for sale !
