Space Hulk: Deathwing – New Trailer reveals first look at gameplay

Space Hulk®: DeathwingTM is an upcoming first-person shooter set in Games Workshop‘s Warhammer 40,000 universe. Space Hulk: Deathwing is an adaptation of the Space Hulk board game, developed on Unreal Engine 4 by the team behind E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy, Streum On Studio. This trailer introduces the basics of the game: its premise, the teammates, the localized damage system, and some of the fearsome enemies players will encounter.

Infiltrate and explore the Space Hulk “Olethros”, a derelict collection of spaceship and debris filled with hidden dangers and relics. As a Librarian, players can take AI squad mates 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 utilize ambushes, swarming and tactical retreats in order to slowly tear down the player’s Terminator armor. Damage is localized and taking too many hits in certain areas will cause your armor 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.

Space Hulk: Deathwing will release later in 2016.

I've been an avid gamer since I stumbled upon ZORK running in my local Radio Shack in 1980. Ten years later I was working for Sierra Online. Since then I've owned nearly every game system and most of the games to go with them. Not sure if 40+ years of gaming qualifies me to write reviews, but I do it anyway.
