Speaking at the annual Wedbush Morgan Securities conference, THQ chieftain Brian Farrell has praised the success of the original Dawn of War.
He announced that it has now reached the 4 million mark, proving to them that Warhammer 40K is ”one brand we should start talking about more.” Dawn of War II has been well received.
”It is a PC-only game — but from the original Dawn of War game that we built at Relic from the original launch, through expansion through gold edition… we’ve done about 4 million units life to date on Dawn of War 1,” said Farrell.
”Warhammer 40k is one brand we should start talking about more.”
”I’m not sure” Metacritic, he said, ”is the only thing to look at, but you’ve got to have a game that resonates with the consumers and the press.”
”We know how to do this,” he continued, pointing to the original Saints Row having clocked up 2.6 million units so far. THQ has been on the ropes of late, with disheartening talk of ‘50-50’ chances to avoid bankruptcy.
Dawn of War II has mixed up a lot of gameplay for real-time strategy gamers, has it seduced you?
