I’ve been a fan of the Space Hulk games and Games Workshop world for a long, long time. The original Space Hulk video game cause many sleepless nights for me and I’ve spent plenty of time looking for ways to play it these days with my Mac.
I’ve even been looking for the board game version and I can’t even find that.
But today, it was announced via the above trailer that there will be a new Space Hulk game and I couldn’t be more excited. And I’m not even a video gamer. At all. By any stretch of the imagination.
Here’s the scant details that have been released via the official website:
Based on the best-selling board game and set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Space Hulk is a 3D digital turn based strategy game that recreates the classic claustrophobic board game experience for single player and multiplayer cross-platform play between PC, Mac and on iOS.
Space Hulk is set in the isolated corridors and tomb-like chambers of an ancient vessel lost in the graveyard of space. Players lead a small army of fearless Space Marine Terminators to battle in a ferocious fight for survival against hordes of predatory alien Genestealers.
The main features are
Blood Angel terminator squad
Fearsome Genestealers with challenging AI
Thematic 3d environment
Single player campaign based on the “Sin of Damnation” hulk
New coop multiplayer levels against the Genestealer AI
Multiplayer head-to-head recreating the board game experience against a friend
Cross platform multiplayer between PC, Mac and iOS
Level editor with ability to share creations
Game expansions in the future as DLC
This game can’t come out fast enough.
