Creative Assembly and SEGA Group have entered into a multi-title licensing deal with Games Workshop

What saddens me most is that somehow the businesses has lost the key factor of quality, game companies now go for the quickest money grab they can come up hopping to get some return, and the upper echelons are idiotic enough to don't see that's why many companies are going down, and eventually we will have some kind of twisted monopoly of game production as more companies keep going down and get bought out by others.

The easiest way to make TONS of money with a game? Make a good one. Look at classic things like Starcraft 1, the thing is still selling well over a decade after going out. If you make a good game you will only not make metric upon metric tons of ********s of money, but you'll also guarantee your future by making sequels of the game.

yeah making a ridiculously good game should be their priority for long term cash flow. we get an awesome game, Sega gets more dough gw as well. we all happy.

in that they probably go for the try and tested formula with DOW or a total war game via creative assembly. i like to see variations but CA`s ability in new genre of late is yet to be seen until they publish that alien survival horror game they working on.

They already did didn't they? The bummer of Aliens Colonial Marines? Or I'm wrong? I'm not really sure on this.

How many W40k video games are in development? There is space hulk, Dark millenium, ,the slitherine one, any news if relic is doing one too? And CA is only making about Fantasy and not W40K right?

[God-Emperor of Mankind]

Correct, CA is only fantasy and I'm not sure Dark Millenium is even in development.

That game was developed by a different developer entirely.

From wikipedia. Seems nobody knows for sure.

On December 19, 2012, the publisher THQ, which owns Vigil Games, filed for Chapter 11bankruptcy, bringing Dark Millennium's fate into question. Video gaming blog Kotaku reached out to THQ's public relations representatives, who gave confusing answers as to the development status ofDark Millennium, stating that "development of this title ended in March 2012", later retracting that to refer to the cancellation of the MMO aspect, but not definitively answering if the project as a whole was cancelled.

Oh thats bad news... i was kinda happy to see that Dark millenium woudnt be a MMO, a W40K 'Neverwinter Nights' syle would be awesome...

[SkyTrickster]

Dark Millenium got cancelled long time ago. They were planning on transfering it to a single player game though, maybe space marine 2. But nothing heard of that yet. But the MMO is out of the block.

[Wulfburk]

? From the looks of it they were transfering it from a MMO to a RPG style game with both singleplayer and multiplayer (like the old school RPGs... NeverWinter Nights, KOTOR, etc, which would be way better IMO)
