Originally announced at E3 2014, a closed demo was shown at E3 2015.



Space Hulk: Deathwing is a first-person shooter experience of Games Workshop’s classic Space Hulk board game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Space Hulk: Deathwing offers players the chance to experience a desperate battle against Genestealers in the claustrophobic tunnels of a Space Hulk, as they 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.

You’ll 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.

The ships in Space Hulk: Deathwing are huge, and highly detailed as you will see in this new set of screenshots.

As a Librarian accompanied by a Terminator squad, players will explore and fight inside these mammoth, derelict Warhammer 40,000 ships solo or cooperatively with friends.

These include a large battle-barge belonging to the Black Templars, as well as a vessel from the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Inside these ships players will shoot it out with an army of Genestealer while recovering relics within the ships and asteroids composing the Space Hulk.

The first-person shooter by Streum On Studio, built with Unreal Engine 4, contains a full story campaign and all of the weapons featured in the Space Hulk board game.

It releases this year on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Must have, at any price !love

PS not to be confused with turn based Space Hulk currently on PSN

Terrible music

@Scottie - While I've not read much lore outside of the games, I enjoy the 40k universe and this looks amazing.

@Lurch - it does look great. The hulks themselves can be 10,000 years old from the Dark Age of Technology (thus more advanced, with lost technology, than the current ships, hence the salvaging)

The words to the Battle Hymn, learn them else you are perceived to be a heretic or a Xenos sympathizer or both!

Space Hulk: Deathwing is fully playable in solo mode as the Terminator squad supports your Librarian against enemy hordes. If you switch to co-operative however, four friends can take control of individual Terminator classes directly. More specifically, a heavy weapon support mows down enemies, a melee-oriented assault class slashes foes with claws, the tactician specialist offers helpful buffs, while the Apothecary provides much-needed healing.

Preorders get the Lost Mace of Corswain special weapon.

Pre-order incentive

@Scottie - I really hope they get this ported to console without issue!
Gonna have to pick up Vermintide on the Xbox One in October to tide me over.

Black Templar Battle Barge

Shoot your enemy once, to ensure he fights no more! Shoot heretics twice, to ensure nothing less than their deserved death!
