Space Hulk: Deathwing, an upcoming first-person shooter set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, will be available for download on PC, December 9. Starting next week, a limited number of pre-order players will be able to join a closed-beta to help the developers gather the latest technical and gameplay feedback for the game. Then, starting around November 20, ALL players who have pre-ordered the game on Steam will be able to get their first taste through a new beta.
Developed on Unreal Engine 4, Space Hulk: Deathwing features a First-Person Shooter experience based on Games Workshop’s classic Space Hulk boardgame set in the universe of Warhammer 40,000. In the game you take on the role of a Space Marine from one of the most secret and most feared Space Marine forces: the Deathwing of the Dark Angels Chapter.
Check the new trailer called Enter the Space Hulk here:
“Players will be able to experience the game’s tutorial to learn the basics before teaming up to complete a mission from the game’s campaign with up to 3 other players in co-op! These betas will be the perfect opportunity to gather the latest feedback from players in order to offer the best possible gaming experience.
Each Space Hulk is an amalgamation of ancient ships and space debris, and Olethros is filled with lore from the 10,000 years since the dawn of the Imperium to the 41st Millennium. You will be exploring Black Templar ships, troop transports, and even pirate vessels that were lost in the Warp and became part of the Space Hulk OIethros’ bowels. Streum On Studios made sure that every inch of the colossal ships, each corridor and each room, contains highly detailed designs, unique architectural styles, and references to Warhammer 40,000 history.”
