Warhammer 40k Dark Millennium No Longer An MMO

Eurogamer has news that THQ's MMO project, Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium Online, has been refocused as a single-player and multi-player online game. The game had previously been rumoured to be cancelled. THQ boss Brian Ferrell said: "Based on changing market dynamics and the additional investment required to complete the game as an MMO, we believe the right direction for us is to shift the title from an MMO to a premium experience with single and multiplayer gameplay, robust digital content and community features." Around 120 people across the Relic and Vigil studios have been laid off as a result of the change, which is depressing news. Hopefully we'll firm up exactly what sort of game we're left soon. A 40k RPG with online bits? Could be... And that would be okay by me.
