Way back in June, a press release went out that there will be a Warhammer 40.000 MMORPG, called Eternal Crusade, at some point in 2015 (if things are on schedule). 2015 is, admittedly, long ways off. Still, Behaviour Interactive, the people making the game, recently previewed a bit of in-game footage (very early W.I.P of course) of the game.
Have a look!
#1 – Eternal Crusade Gameplay Footage
The video starts with a little tour around the office. It’s fun enough. If you want to jump straight to the game-play footage however, I recommend starting round about minute 3.00 or thereabouts.
#2 – Eternal Crusade Factions
Other bits and bobs about the game have been put out there about Eternal Crusade, including the playable factions. They are, unsurprisingly, a choice of Warhammer 40K stalwarts.
4 playable factions are:
Space Marines: Genetically modified super-soldiers created by the Emperor of Mankind to protect the Imperium of Man.
Chaos Space Marines: Space Marines who have fallen prey to the corruption of the Warp and seek the destruction of the Imperium.
Eldar: A dying race of mysterious beings from before the birth of mankind with a mastery of psychic powers.
Orks: Brutal, green-skinned hordes that seek war in all its forms.
#3 – Your Thoughts?
2015 is a long, long way off. Still, I’d love to hear from you.
- What do you think about the idea of a Warhammer 40K MMORPG?
- Is this looking like an approach you’d be interested in?
- Would you have preferred something more “Dark Heresy”-style?
