We were just given new gameplay footage of Space Hulk: Deathwing which is set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Infiltrate and explore the Space Hulk Olethros, a derelict collection of space ships and debris filled with hidden dangers and relics. As a Librarian, players can take AI squadmates or have fellow players join them in their investigation into the mystery of Olethros, co-written by renowned Dark Angels writer Gavin Thorpe.
Infesting the Space Hulk are ferocious Genestealers who utilise ambushes, swarming and tactical retreats in order to slowly tear down the player’s Terminator armour. Damage is localised, and taking too many hits in certain areas will cause your armour to malfunction. To stop the horde, you’ll have access to a wide assortment of weapons, skills, and powers taken directly from Warhammer 40,000 lore to customize your squad of Dark Angel Terminators. The game will launch later this year, first on PC and then on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
