A smaller, cuter Warhammer 40,000 will precede the launch of the next retail entry in the series. THQ has announced Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team today, an upcoming PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade arcade shooter.
Kill Team has players in the role of an elite Space Marine team sent to take out a giant Ork Kroozer en-route to an Imperial Forge World. It offers a range of classes, including the ranged specialists Strenguard Veteran and Techmarine, and the melee focused Vanguard Veteran and Librarian. It also highlights two-player local co-op, weapon upgrades, and six chapters of story.
Completing the first mission in Kill Team unlocks the Power Sword weapon for use in multiplayer for the upcoming retail release, Warhammer 40,000: Space marine. It “cuts through armor and flesh alike.”
Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team will launch on PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade in July for $9.99 / 800 Microsoft Points.
Check out the debut trailer below. The first set of screenshots can be seen at the gallery.
