Another week goes by and along comes another announcement about layoffs within the industry. The team who brought you Warhammer Online got a post-launch downsize, I have a special announcement regarding LOTRO, and there’s a new MMO-based off of the Disney movie Cars, plus a lot more. Don’t forget to comment! Any criticism is good criticism.Vigil Studios are the guys that are working on the game and in the official THQ quarterly financial report it mentioned that the game is still in production and to quote them…This week was the first "Ask Cryptic" for their upcoming superhero MMO Champions Online. Cryptic fielded a few questions from the community and revealed some interesting bits about their game. In City of Heroes (Cryptics previous MMO) there weren’t many travel powers, powers that allowed you to travel to places within a zone faster, for natural origin superheroes (think Rorschach from The Watchmen comic). This time around, the developers are including an acrobatic talent that will allow you to run faster and leap further.

Did you know that there was a Warhammer 40K MMO game in development? Well, just to clarify the current Warhammer Online game is published by Electronic Arts and the Warhammer 40K game will be published by THQ.Our other initiatives include our WWE online game being developed in Asia and our Warhammer 40,000 MMO game being developed at our Vigil Studio.We think the popular Warhammer 40,000 Sci-fi universe is a great fit for PC MMO gaming.
