Here's some big news coming out of E3 for those among us who love Warhammer 40,000: an MMO is in the works and is slated for release in 2015.

The game is called Eternal Crusade and features four factions: the Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, Orks and Eldar. It is third-person and though details are limited since the game was just announced, it claims it offers "precision gunplay" and will have "challenging procedurally generated content". It will also offer players the chance to pilot ground vehicles. Seems like we'll have some PvE as well as PvP in this game.

The game is being developed by Montreal-based developer Behaviour Interactive.

You can opt in on the official website here. As well, you can follow them on Twitter and on Facebook.

Those of you who follow MMOs or Warhammer 40K may remember the anguish you felt when Dark Millenium, previously slated to be an MMO, was downgraded to a single player experience. Finally though, it looks like we'll get our WH40K MMO after all.

Needless to say, we'll be keeping you updated as we get more details about the game. The Eternal Crusade team mentioned on Twitter that a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" is forthcoming, so we will likely get more details at that time.
