THQ struggles continue as its still under development MMO Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium will be turned into a single player and an online multiplayer game. During this transition THQ will be laying off 118 employees from its Relic Entertainment and vigil Games Studios.
"Based on changing market dynamics and the additional investment required to complete the game as an MMO, we believe the right direction for us is to shift the title from an MMO to a premium experience with single and multiplayer gameplay, robust digital content and community features," says THQ president and CEO Brian Farrell.
It was just two months ago when THQ had to lay off 240 of its employees, as well as the CEO cutting his own salary by 50 percent. THQ had also lost $55.9 million in its December 2011 quarter.
