The team behind it is Vigil Studios, a division of THQ. THQ brought us Dawn of War 1 and 2 (though from Relic Studios) so they hopefully will bring the same accuracy those games showed the source material. Based on the video the game plays more like a third person shooter rather than a typical MMO setup (hard to confirm based on the limited info provided however).
Set in the gritty and bleak universe of the 40th millenium, mankind has conquered much of the galaxy. However all is not peaceful, and there is constant war raging across thousands of planets within the Imperium of Man. The Emperor sits atop the Golden Throne, protecting all of mankind and lighting the way through the Chaos tainted warp. A thousand psykers (psychic humans) are sacrificed every day to preserve the Emperor's body in his holy stasis.
Orks ravage entire worlds just for the sake of slaughter, fighting using fearful weapons and vehicles that have no business functioning. Eldar use their superior technology and cunning to weaken and destroy humanity. The swarms of the Tyranids devour all life to spawn ever greater armies. Terrifying Chaos forces corrupt and subvert the citizens of the Imperium, which must be excised before the cancer can spread.
Burn the Heretic! Kill the Mutant! Purge the Unclean!
