Newsbrief: Alongside THQ's
weak earnings report for its fiscal third quarter, the publisher revealed that it has decided to take a new, more cautious approach with its upcoming Warhammer 40,000-based MMO,
Dark Millenium Online.
In a Gamasutra-attended investor conference call, THQ CEO Brian Farrell explained that the publisher is looking to partner with another company to help mitigate costs and bring the large-scale project to market.
"Because of the large financial commitment and associated risks, we are being realistic about our resources and we are actively seeking a partner for this compelling new MMO. We will keep you updated on our progress," Farrell told his investors.
Currently, the project is in the hands of THQ studios Vigil Games (
Darksiders) and Relic Entertainment (
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II,
Space Marine) -- a firm release window has yet to be announced.
