THQ today announced Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, from renowned internal studio Relic Entertainment, will bring Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 science fiction universe to life on the Xbox 360 and PS 3 for the first time.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine takes place in the brutal, science fiction setting of Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 universe. In the 41st Millennium, humanity faces extinction at the hands of horrific aliens and demonic hordes. Only one force offers salvation, the superhuman Space Marines. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is an intense Action-RPG featuring epic battles where players take direct control of the ultimate defender of humanity, the mighty Space Marine.
“Space Marine is an Action-RPG built from the ground up for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 systems, and will allow gamers to take control of individual units and fight in epic battles across the Warhammer 40,000 universe,” said Jonathan Dowdeswell, general manager, Relic Entertainment. “Relic has a deep understanding of the license based on our previous projects with Games Workshop, and our goal is to ensure Space Marine delivers the most intimate and brutal Warhammer 40,000 experience to date.”
Space Marine is currently in development at THQ’s internal studio Relic Entertainment and will be unveiled at E3 2009. No release date has been given at this time.
