Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium Online Sports $50M Budget

Speaking at an investor briefing call, THQ executive vice president and CFO Paul Pucino stated the budget for their upcoming Warhammer 40K-licensed MMORPG Dark Millennium Online is in the $50 million range.

THQ executive vice president and CFO Paul Pucino said the company is projecting costs in the $50 million range to get its first MMO, the Warhammer-licensed Dark Millennium, to market in 2012, putting the title’s development budget at “the high end of a core game,” he said.

It is on the high end of a core title, but for an MMORPG it doesn’t seem a particularly rich budget.
