Relic's 'Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine' Coming to Xbox 360, PS3 (Updated)
Original story: A new console-specific Warhammer 40,000 action game is heading to consoles courtesy of Dawn of War developer Relic.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine (360, PS3) will see players controlling a single space marine across an action-heavy campaign, according to IGN. A trailer for the game shows a zoomed-in battlefield rendered in the Dawn of War style.
Relic says that players will gain items over the course of the title, and that it is placing a big focus on multiplayer, though few specifics have been divulged.
Thanks to Chepito for the alert. Check out the new trailer below:

Poor Yurik
replyWhat really needs to happen is for a game somewhat similiar to Mass Effect but in the W40k universe.
Also, Relic really needs to get Dan Abnett (far and away the best 40k author) to write a story and characters for one of their games. The story and characters, at least in DoW1 (haven't played DoW2 yet because of my current system), were pretty terrible.-
a Gaunt game?

I love that series, but I think most people who aren't familiar with it wouldn't see how it is 40k, and would just write it off as another sci-fi military shooter. Basically like a COD but with lasguns. Space Marines are way more iconic than the IG for people who aren't big fans of 40k outside of Relic's offerings.

How about a COD with stealth abilities? "McVenner's Revenge: A Gaunt's Ghosts tale"

I agree with you on all of this. This title has a chance to be really epic if it's handled right and backed by the mythos and a good design talent. Hopefully the final product turns out great. Because they leaked video looked promising.

Just watched the IGN trailer for this. Holy crap that looks pretty amazing, and great voice work. Hope they pull it off. DoW was very awesome in terms of visuals, I just hope they deliver the lore in a more powerful way.

I cannot agree with you enough. This game will be a complete fuck up and failure if they make it God of Warhammer. A single player beat em up game like Devil May Cry or God of War will do mediocre sales and be quickly forgotten. A sprinkling of Mass Effect RPG elements and a good writer like Abnett (maybe toss in some coop to boot) will give them the best odds of birthing a new money minting franchise.

I'd kill for a movie (trilogy perhaps?) detailing the Horus Heresy. The visuals alone would be mind blowing, and the story is pretty damn good to boot.

For Tanith!
