More job listing news. Vigil Games is looking to hire a senior programmer, preferably with FPS experience. After the announcement that Dark Millennium Online is being retooled into a single player game, perhaps a Warhammer 40K FPS is on the way?

I hope this isn't a licenced property, but something original that these guys are developing.
These guys weren't really on my radar until recently; I started playing Darksiders a little while ago and have been really impressed with the world, atmosphere and characters. This is a very creative bunch of people! I'm excited for Darksiders 2, would love to see what they could bring to the FPS space...
Ideally I wanted an action based MMO, then after the cancellation i was hoping for a co-op ARPG. FPS just seems so generic and bland. I hope this isn't for WH40k.

Best of luck Vigil, keep up the good work!
Darksiders was a very fun game. My only two complaints with it are that the difficulty wasn't consistent and the game worlds were too small. I would love a more open world and I hope Death brings me there in part 2.
