Fresh from E3 in Los Angeles today, the Warhammmer 40K MMO video trailer is finally here! Announced by THQ and Vigil Games with the official title, "Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium Online," the debut trailer only has a running time of one minute, but those 60 seconds are filled with exactly the type of in-game footage and action that fans were hoping to see. We see several different races showcased in the trailer; Imperium (of Man), Chaos and Orks, including an array of different "Chapters" (i.e., the Space Marines and Imperial Guard for the Imperium, and Chaos Space Marines and Cultists for Chaos).

One one hand, we're not sure what to make of THQ's earlier promise that all the Warhammer 40K factions will be playable (we didn't see the Eldar, among other races, in the video), but on the flip-side, the trailer gives us the impression that the upcoming MMO will kick some serious ass. We see both land and air vehicles (possibly indicating the vehicular combat players are hoping for), titans and dreadnoughts stomping across the battlefield, a third-person character view (with what appears to be an ability-based interface) and more. The combat scenes don't confirm or deny the existence of a "cover system" (based on terrain and line-of-sight factors), so we'll have to wait for ZAM's upcoming interview with THQ/Vigil Games at E3 this week to get more answers. In the mean time, check out the video trailer for Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium Online after the jump!

If you've been a Global Agenda fan for quite some time now, then Hi-Rez Studios' first expansion for Global Agenda, "Sandstorm," probably won't come as a surprise to any of you. For the rest of the public, however, E3 is Global Agenda's chance to really shine, and the team has decided to lug along an exhibit for their new expansion! Sandstorm will feature new player weapons and armor, additional character customization (yes!), larger PvE raids, the ability to play PvE solo (yes!!), new PvP and PvE content, an updated User Interface and enhanced Agency vs. Agency campaigns (in other words, Guild vs. Guild fighting).

Currently at E3, the team is excited to be demonstrating their new quest-driven open zone gameplay, which works pretty much exactly as the name implies. Executive Producer Todd Harris notes that while Sandstorm "preserves [Global Agenda's] intense, shooter combat," the expansion's focal point appears to be to "add . . . story and immersion elements that [Hi-Rez Studios] thinks that players will really appreciate." So if you're interested in checking out all that this new expansion will bring to the table, be sure to check out the Hi-Rez Studios booth at the E3 Expo in the Los Angeles Convention Center's south hall in booth 747!

We've been cautiously excited about the newly-announced Battlestar Galactica MMO since early-March, when we reported the German browser games developer/portal Bigpoint acquired the rights-to-develop the MMO based on NBC Universal's Battlestar Galactica IP. Bigpoint, in association with NBC Universal and the SyFy Channel, will be unveiling its browser-based Battlestar Galactica MMO (inspired by the reboot, not the original) at next week's E3 expo in Los Angeles. In anticipation of the expo, Bigpoint recently debuted the first Battlestar Galactica MMO teaser-trailer, which ZAM readers can view after the jump.

The teaser is 90 seconds long and showcases a variety of impressive-looking space combat scenes; however, it's unclear whether these scenes are purely cinematic or represent actual in-game footage. Since the free-to-play MMO will employ a hybrid browser plug-in technology (like Free Realms), it's more likely that these scenes are cinematic footage. However, Bigpoint CTO Jan Wergin described the gameplay style as incorporating both third-person avatar and "twitch"-inspired ship combat, as we noted in our initial news report, so we're looking forward to seeing more news from E3 next week. Watch the full Battlestar Galactica teaser trailer after the jump, and check out Bigpoint's official BSG website to sign up for news updates from the developer.
