Warhammer Online Resurrection?

Posted by Zonk on from the rez-plz-k-thx dept.

Thanks to TerraNova for the heads up about the possible resurrection of Warhammer Online. The game was cancelled back in June, after several years of work on the project and rumors that it was close to completion. GamesIndustry.biz has the story as well: "Cancelled massively multiplayer title Warhammer Online is back in development, according to comments attributed to Karl Jeffery, CEO of developer Climax, and could be released in around 18 months time."

  1. Not with David Nicholson at the helm? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative

    I find this unlikely with David Nicholson being made MD recently at Climax Nottingham.
    Mr Nicholson was brought onboard at Rage Games Sheffield to handle the closure of the studio (which seems to be his role in the industry), and has also been part of management during a number of studio closures, including Inforgrammes/Atari/Gremlin and Yeti-Studios
    It certainly seems like a bad omen for the Nottingham studio where Warhammer Online is being developed, but perhaps there's a chance they'll move production to another studio?
