THQ denies Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium Online details photo

After yesterday's deluge of information concerning Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium Online, THQ has flatly denied that anything we know is true. That includes class info, studios involved, and the March 2013 launch window. 

"It has come to THQ’s attention that some media are reporting that we’ve announced game details and a release date for our upcoming Massively Multiplayer Online project, Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium Online," stated the company. "At this time THQ has not officially announced a release date and any reported features are pure speculation.  THQ will announce confirmed game features and an official release date at a later time."

Well there you go. Of course, with THQ already confirming that it's invested in Warhammer 40K and that Space Marine may not get a sequel thanks to this MMO, one can be sure that not all those details were false, especially the combat part which THQ's own Danny Bilson appeared to confirm earlier today.

This is just a legality. Don't blame THQ, they have to clarify that anything said thus far isn't official in order to protect themselves. This way, they won't be sued if by someone who is all like "YOU SAID IT WOULD BE THIS WAY" if they end up having to change something.

If you're going to place blame for this kind of thing, place it on an environment where companies have little choice but to cover themselves as much as possible.

Jim, this isn't them denying it. This is them not confirming nor denying it. Saying it is speculation is not the same as saying it's not true. L2GamingIndustry

Well, those leaked notes seemed awesome (Despite the canon issues of a Black Templar working alongside Eldar and Tau. Seriously, ANY OTHER CHAPTER would work, and that's the only issue I have. The Imperium, in desperate times, has been known to ally with Xenos for the sake of the Imperiums existence. However, once that's all done, they beat the crud outta the xenos.

@Davedude, I think the best way to do it would be to have it as a standard 'incredibly uneasy alliance'. Some missions being attacking allied non-human races, for example.

Yeah that was a real specific list from yesterday. I'm not thinking that it was fabricated--not that there aren't plenty of changes we could anticipate by release time.

I'm praying this game is free like Guild Wars but I doubt it. I don't want to pay 15 dollars a month to play a game.

All I know is that I need some space wolves in my head space, behind my eyes and pumping rhythmically in my chest cavity.

To be fair, that previous article can hardly be called journalism. There was not even one word on how the information was acquired, and nothing was said to count towards its credibility, yet it was treated as fact. It also read like "pure speculation" by somebody who'd only seen the trailer from two years ago and had played WoW before. It was inconsistent as well, unsure of the the words "heavy" or "devastator" for the Space Marine spec? Grey Knights thrown in with regular Space Marines at level 40, even though they only take orders directly from the Inquisition? They're not as interchangeable as "Death Knights," not that lore is particularly solid on Blizzard's end. Eldar on the same permanent side as the Imperium? Shaky alliances have happened before, but only behind the scenes while killing on either side still continued.

THQ is extremely protective of the GW license. These just don't sound like mistakes (however small) that they would make.
