Space Hulk: Deathwing announced
An Unreal Engine 4-based first-person shooter.
Focus Home Interactive and Streum On Studio have announced Space Hulk: Deathwing, a new first-person shooter developed on the Unreal Engine 4 engine, based on Games Workshop’s classic Space Hulk board game, and set in the universe of Warhammer 40,000.
The game puts players in the boots of a Space Marine from “one of the most secret and most feared” Space Marine Companies: the Deathwing from the Dark Angels. Find full details, courtesy of Focus Home Interactive, below.
Space Hulk: Deathwing offers players the chance to experience a desperate battle against Genestealers in the claustrophobic tunnels of a Space Hulk, as they will gain skills, new abilities and new equipment thanks to experience earned during perilous missions.
Space Hulks drift along the currents of the Warp, the immaterial dimension of Chaos. Made up of gigantic mangled asteroids, derelict ship wrecks and other spatial debris, they sometimes grow to the size of a moon and often contain treasured and ancient lost technologies. However, they are ripe with danger including infestations of the lethal Genestealers.
Players take on the role of a Space Marine from one of the most secret and most feared Space Marine Companies: the Deathwing from the Dark Angels. Strap on your Terminator armor and equip the emblematic weaponry of the Space Marines to overcome the threats awaiting you in the Space Hulk.
As a Librarian, you will also master the destructive powers of the Psykers. Your skills and performance in battle grant you Fervor Points, to spend on 4 skill trees allowing you to improve your abilities, unlock new powers, access powerful relics and devastating new weapons.
Platforms and release date were not announced. Watch a teaser trailer below. View the first set of artwork at the gallery.
