A new Warhammer® 40,000® MMORPG revealed.

Montreal, 10th June, 2013 – Behaviour Interactive and Games Workshop® proudly announce a new online game in the Warhammer® 40,000® universe: Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade. Behaviour Interactive has obtained the rights to create a wholly new MMORPG persistent war experience for PC, PS4 and Xbox One set in Games Workshop’s universe of the 41st Millennium. In the game, players choose a Warhammer 40,000® race and fight directly as one of their warriors in massive conflicts for territory. It will be up to each faction’s community to determine their own destiny as they vie for control of an entire planet.

Main features of the game include:

Experience the gameworld with 3rd-person, behind the shoulder action featuring precision gunplay and brutal melee combat with excruciating finishers;

Participate in a persistent online war to conquer the planet, its fate completely in the hands of the players;

Become a warrior from one of four initial factions, each unique and opposed to one another: Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, Orks and Eldar.

Participate in truly massive conflicts that simultaneously bring thousands of players to bear over territories and other strategic resources.

Get behind the controls of Space Marine Rhinos, Predators, Ork Battlewagons and other iconic vehicles of the 41st millennium;

Hack through genuinely challenging procedural content alongside your battle-brothers and never have the same experience twice;

Earn the right to customize your builds in a deep progression system drawing on the rich Warhammer 40,000 universe.

Found a Battle Squad with friends and prepare for conflict from your customized shared space in orbit - then drop down to the planet together and seek out glory!

sorry new to forums.

**RaptorsTalon**

This sounds like a really nice idea, I just hope they pull it off.

However, I'm not confident looking at Behaviour Interactive's list of past games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behaviour_Interactive
Mostly just movie tie in stuff, no real big games as far as I can see.

**YakManDoo**

well, we'll see...I've stopped getting my hopes up for a 40k MMO a long time ago...

**endtransmission**

Just so people don't think this is spam...

There's not a lot else on the site at the moment, other than a galaxy map of potential new pieces of information in the future. The developer, Behaviour Interactive seems to do lots of Disney and film/cartoon tie in games

It was meant to be gentle sarcastic ribbing. Don't take it too hard.

More from the site:

Warning

By the command of Inquisition the following content has been classified as HERESY!
Access Override all
An empty mind is a loyal mind

From the look of the quotes, there are orks, imperial, chaos, Necrons and others...

**nkelsch**

A MMO FPS where your avatar is a persistant character has been a good idea for a long time... I would be interested to see if they can pull it off.

The one thing that the fantasy warhammer MMO had going for it was the graphics were amazing and like walking around GW minis.

**unmercifulconker**

OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY
edit: I'll say it again, next gen is best gen.

edit 2: sorry hype has just shot through the roof listening to the webiste quotes, TIME FOR ETERNAL WAR ON THE PS4!!!

The last quote is definitely Eldar.

"once was ours and will come back to us" is an Eldar phrase.

Plus, that's an Eldar Sword with an Eldar rune on it.

It's your classic Blue Marines, Spiky Marines, Orks, and Eldar

**Daston**

So another MMO that isn't really an MMO but an arena combat game that happens to be on the same server?

That said I hope they pull it off and it is great, an FPS multiplayer 40k would be good.

**unmercifulconker**

Damn says huge battles which decide the fate of planets, I can picture it now, rows of marines unleashing bolter fire upon a mass horde of orks, all players, all glorious.

edit: end of 2015

**Kanluwen**

Behavior is also responsible for Halo: Waypoint, which is very interesting.

**Minx**

It's not gonna be an FPS though. It says third person persistent online action ...
We'll see

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Well I enrolled, interesting to see where this goes.

**Ctan_Overlord**

Strange that it hasn't been featured on any news site, even a Google search turns up nothing on this game.

(Also click on the option; "An empty mind is a loyal mind" when you first go on the website

)

**Medium of Death**

Is it not a single planet?

It's an absolutely awesome concept, I hope it turns out well.

Sounds like a GW campaign

Bah, you got me. I was thinking 'crons.

**Ifepy**

We will see where this goes.
But if I end up not being able to be a noise marine I'm going to throw a bottle in the street out of anger

**Absolutionis**

Plus, ever since Pariahs stopped being canon and only the highest-level Necrons have individuality and free will, it'd be odd to put a playable Necron into a game.

Why? There have been plenty of 'limited individuality and free will' characters in big games. Plus it wouldn't be too difficult for any PC necrons to be low-level crypteks or nobility.

Yeah, I've looked and I can't find anything. What's the source for this information?

The site, after all the quotes.

**pretre**

The website linked above is the source. They may not have posted an actual press release yet. It just posted yesterday.

**grimdark83**

I will hold my excitement until we are in the year 2015 and see if it still exists. Im still dissapointed how the last 40k mmo dissapeared into the void, it looked like a good game

**unmercifulconker**

I just need to see one gameplay video and thats it.

Should be some more news during e3.

Well, after the previous attempt at a 40K MMO ended in the midst of THQ's bankruptcy... I'm not terribly surprised to see GW licensing it out again.

Though I'm kinda shocked that they did it before the fate of Vigil was entirely settled.

Not too confident about the studio they went with this time around, to be honest. I thought Vigil had promise, though it was clear they were trying to go too big with it, but these new guys... I dunno.

**silent25**

Curious if they got their hands on the old Vigil/THQ code or are starting from scratch.

**Fishboy**

Isnt this the 4th time now that someone has tried a 40K MMO? Its been sad to get my hopes up only to see them dashed a year later heheh.
