In 2005 Games Workshop was approached by Mythic Entertainment with a pitch for a new Warhammer Online MMORPG. The game was to be published by Sega Europe. However in mid 2004 due to the costs involved in brining the game to market was cancelled. Before Mythic Entertainment, a studio called Anthill Studios which was later acquired by Climax Studios and renamed 'Climax Nottingham' was working from 2000 on a Warhammer Online game of their own, even showing a trailer at E3, some behind the scenes videos here and here, and was even presented by Paul Barnett (who worked at Games Workshop at the time and later joined Mythic Entertainement) at Screenplay Festival 2004.
