Platforms have yet to be confirmed<\/p>\n<p>Space Hulk: Deathwing is billed as an FPS and is being developed on the Unreal 4 engine by Streum On Studio (E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy), published by Focus Home Interactive, and co-produced by Cyanide Studio.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Players 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 armour 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Although announced back in September 2013, details are scarce, but considering the Space Hulk setting we&#8217;d expect some sort of squad-based shooter. It remains to be seen if the game will somehow include turn-based mechanics.<\/p>\n<p>The Warhammer 40K IP has been taking a pounding of late, with <a title=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/62307-worst-game-of-2013-dev-launches-shoddy-warhammer-40k-title.html\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/62307-worst-game-of-2013-dev-launches-shoddy-warhammer-40k-title.html\" target=\"_blank\">quick and shameless cash-ins<\/a> and mediocre offerings littering the field where once proud titles such as the Dawn of War franchise reigned.<\/p>\n<p>Since THQ went under back in January 2013, its Warhammer 40K license (which is held by creator Games Workshop) has been freed up, and it seems Games Workshop is letting anyone have a stab at it.<\/p>\n<p>Should we get our hopes up that Deathwing will be anything more than just another B-grade swing at the pi\u00f1ata of the Warhammer 40K IP? It&#8217;s probably too early to tell, but I do like the screenshots and teaser video released so far. Check it out below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0Nr1zMtEsJQ?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\"
