Games-Workshop

Not much info other that it being a turn based game that emulates the board game.

Kind of surprising since GW have always seemed to be against making straight conversions of their board/wargames to computer games.

Update: New Info

Based on the best-selling board game and set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Space Hulk is a 3D digital turn based strategy game that recreates the classic claustrophobic board game experience for single player and multiplayer cross-platform play between PC, Mac and on iOS.

Space Hulk is set in the isolated corridors and tomb-like chambers of an ancient vessel lost in the graveyard of space. Players lead a small army of fearless Space Marine Terminators to battle in a ferocious fight for survival against hordes of predatory alien Genestealers.

The main features are
Blood Angel terminator squad
Fearsome Genestealers with challenging AI
Thematic 3d environment
Single player campaign based on the "Sin of Damnation" hulk
New coop multiplayer levels against the Genestealer AI
Multiplayer head-to-head recreating the board game experience against a friend
Cross platform multiplayer between PC, Mac and iOS
Level editor with ability to share creations
Game expansions in the future as DLC

Neat. I have fond memories playing the board game many years ago.

randomwab · Dec 10, 2012

I've been wanting this for a long time. Will watch closely.

JazzmanZ · Dec 10, 2012

So...wheres the hulk?

Continuity · Dec 10, 2012

Fuck yeah more warhammer stuff

NemesisPrime · Dec 10, 2012

Day one!

Phanatic8390 · Dec 10, 2012

As much as I understand why GW doesn't digitize table top 40k it makes me sad as someone who got into the universe thanks to DOW and has neither the time or skill to get involved in the actual table top game.

Having said that, Day one.

Str0ngStyle · Dec 10, 2012

I want an tablet version of this so bad that I will forget my hatred of these crooks just for this project. Day One

erpg · Dec 10, 2012

That's good to hear. I'll stick to my table top version, because I have to justify the 180$ I spent on the limited edition board and paints, but I'm glad everyone else will get a shot to play it.

CheesecakeRecipe · Dec 10, 2012

Oh my god I will be all over this. Space Hulk is one of my favorite board games but it rarely gets played due to its limited player count. Hopefully it gets done gorgeous, claustrophobic justice.

Website is up. There is a bit more info.

deim0s · Dec 10, 2012

yes! More Warhammer!

They still have the other Talisman board game in development right or is it cancelled?

Looks like the late 90s CG in Chaos Gate. I like it.

They have 40k Talisman coming still from FFG. It's called Relic.

Yeah. I was expecting a game about the Hulk...in space.

Green Wiggly · Dec 10, 2012

Will definitely be keeping an eye on this. Hope it fares better than the recent Blood Bowl games.

GarthVaderUK · Dec 10, 2012

News of Creative Assembly working on a Warhammer Fantasy game and news of a new Space Hulk game within days of each other - great stuff!

Nirolak · Dec 10, 2012

Well this was unexpected:

OVERWATCH!

Serra · Dec 10, 2012

Will buy. Sucker for anything even tangentially related to WH40k.

bigdaddygamebot · Dec 10, 2012

And if they let you level up your terminators...and customize their armour...and put earned decorations for things they've accomplished...

Oh god...this would be lovely.

Tellaerin · Dec 10, 2012

The main features are
Blood Angel terminator squad

Now I'm remembering that old Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels game. Played the crap out of that back in the day. "Beware!"

Definitely interested in checking this out.

Of course they will. DLC. And you'll gladly pay for it. For the Emperor.

Turn based 40kk? On PC?

Emperor be praised!

Blood Angels...meh...fucking Space Marine vampires. Heretics every one.

But...beggars can't be choosers.

PatzCU · Dec 10, 2012

Yesssssssssssssss!!! I've been waiting for this for so long. I used to play the actual tabletop game as a kid but could never find the time or people to put games together now. I appreciate all the work that goes into the real thing from painting figures to creating a board, but having the same rule set on a pc/mobile game is going to be incredible.

doubleplusgood · Dec 10, 2012

Ou, nice...nice... Delicious turn based nice. Now lets hope they make a Gorkamorka game

As long as it translates the rules over it could be stick figures for all I care.

At my local gaming shop, the owner often pesters me to get back into WH40K and I tell him I don't have the time to paint and build the models, nor do I have the space to store them and all the terrain I invariably acquire.

He tells me I'm crazy when I tell him that I would spend the exact same amount of money for electronic versions of the models if I could quickly customize them and paint them by simply...clicking.

Then play with the WH40K rules online.

Like...I know it's crazy...but I would totally do it...and I think others would too.

sixteen-bit · Dec 10, 2012

The 3DO game was supposed to be good, right?

Ceebs · Dec 10, 2012

The concept has me saying fuck yes, but I will temper expectations since the developer looks to be unproven.

Depends on which version of space hulk you had. One had Dark Angels instead of Blood Angels.

The target group is perfect, too bad what they made so far looks shit. You know what is very strong "soccer dad" game? Civilization.

thetrin · Dec 10, 2012

Holy shit, yes!

One of my most favorite games when I was in middle school was the original Space Hulk PC game by EA.

It is, but I still think the original PC version is better than Vengeance. Oh wait, are you talking about the port of the original, or Vengeance of the Blood Angels?

Second edition had expansions for all the major Chapters. Released for free in White Dwarf as well, those were the days.

Tacitus_ · Dec 10, 2012

Well I'll be damned. Maybe GW is finally warming properly to virtual versions of their games.... or they're shitting their pants about 3d printing and want to establish a proper virtual foothold.

Probably only applies to core games nowdays. GW aren't even selling Space Hulk atm.

BigDes · Dec 10, 2012

Wait who is making this?

Can't be THQ?

Have the 40K digital rights been passed already?

GuitarAtomik · Dec 10, 2012

FINALLY! Very excited to see how this turns out.

mrklaw · Dec 10, 2012

nice. I'd still prefer a tablet adaptation of the Aliens boardgame, but this is a very close second place.

3D0 for me, but yeah, a definite highlight back in the day.

I don't think Space Hulk would fall under the 40k license.
