its Vigil Games development studio. Currently, Vigil Games is [[link]] working on two projects for THQ. The first, Darksiders™, is an action game designed for the Xbox 360 and Sony PLAYSTATION3, and is scheduled for release in January 2010. Vigil Games is also developing a Massively Multiplayer 
Online game based on [[link]] the [[link]] Warhammer® 40,000™ universe, that is expected to be released in a few years. We have not yet unveiled the details around the MMO.” “We are very excited about the strong development talent at Vigil Games and we view Austin as a great location to attract employees engaged in video game development.”
