Streum On Studio announced Space Hulk: Deathwing today, a first-person shooter based in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

Space Hulk: Deathwing is set in the same environment as Games Workshop's board game Space Hulk, in which players are tasked with boarding the titular mass of derelict ships in order to investigate an alien disturbance. Deathwing, though, is a first-person shooter, and players can gain new skills, abilities and equipment across four skill trees as they complete missions in the vessels' cramped corridors. Streum On Studio is creating this atmosphere using the Unreal Engine 4, according to the PlayStation Blog In IGN's review of the PC title Space Hulk, a turn-based strategy game set on a derelict flotilla, we praised the game's tense atmosphere and faithful adaptation of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, but thought the repetitive animations and lack of any real decisions made it a mediocre experience altogether Streum On Studio plans on releasing Deathwing in 2015 for PC, Xbox One and PS4, although the exact date has yet to be specified.
