Space Hulk, the Games Workshop board game about Space Marines fighting their way across a sprawling mass of spaceships in the Warhammer 40K universe was first released in 1989 - and rereleased in 2009. It also had two video game adaptations - until now! Now it has 3 video game adaptations, with Games Workshop announcing the third underway and due to be released in 2013!

The new game will see you playing as Blood Angel Terminators, fighting against Genestealers onboard the Sin of Damnation - a sprawling Space Hulk from the 3rd edition game. Developed by the small Denmark company Full Control, Space Hulk will be turn-based and feature single player and cross-platform co-op and head-to-head modes - allowing players to compete across PC, Mac and mobile.

Embedded below is the trailer for Space Hulk, which you can also watch in our videos library - going full screen for HD of course. Are you looking forward to Space Hulk? It looks pretty crappy graphically, but graphics aren't everything right? What do you think of the trailer? Let us know in the comments below.

I agree on all counts.

There's already a turn-based game very much like (but not legally allowed to be called) Space Hulk, though I can't remember what it was called. The only reason I can think of to wait for this official one is being able to play on your phone, but then you'd have to own an iPhone, and the people who made the Totally Not Space Hulk game have probably ported it to Android since I last checked up on the project years ago.

There's a PC developed version floating around as well, pretty damn simple, sprite based top down view etc. Was alright for one playthrough, wouldn't bother with it again though.

I actually found a couple while I was researching this piece - there is Alien Assault, which was the one which used to be straight up called Space Hulk - http://www.teardown.se/alienassault.html and qSpaceHulk - which has a java implentation on sourceforge.

The one I saw was very similar to alien assault, was probably that before they did the requisite name change and texture swaps to keep it legal.

You're a funny guy Sweaty.

At any rate, the developer looks very promising as I love nearly all the W40k games, and a turn-based one with modern technology is something I'm very much forward to looking how it turns out.
