And it actually looked good: animations of the canceled Warhammer 40K MMORPG were posted online

New materials have surfaced from the doomed Warhammer 40K MMORPG—the one that quietly died after NetEase cut funding and Jackalyptic Games was closed. A former animator has posted working fragments on social media, and another post confirmed the project was set in the Horus Heresy, i.e., the galaxy-spanning civil war that happened about 10k yrs before the usual 40K timeline.

The clips are simple: walk cycles, runs, a Space Marine unloading a heavy bolter—small things that suddenly feel like losses. Writer Graham McNeill, who’s penned many of the setting’s novels, has also confirmed he worked on scripts, characters, missions and larger arcs; he called the cancellation “a terrible drama” and said it “was shaping up to be really great.” Insiders had already leaked location screenshots earlier, and fans immediately picked out Prospero, the home of the Thousand Sons legion—proof this wasn't just concept art but something that might have been.
