Added by Brad Shoemaker on May 28, 2009
THQ and in-house studio Relic--makers of Dawn of War II and Company of Heroes, among others--just put months of speculation to rest by confirming the long-rumored existence of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, a new action game set in the same Warhammer sci-fi universe as the Dawn of War games. IGN has the first trailer, along with some in-depth information about RPG elements and multiplayer.
What do you think? In the vein of RTS-franchises-turned-character-action-games, let's hope this one meets a better end than Starcraft Ghost did.

Looks like another action game to me. Nothing is more repetitive.
So they just used the Dawn of War II graphics but changed the gameplay to be Too Human kinda action RPG?
It's relic so I'm already happy with it. Also the fact that there are more that 3 on 1 battles is great, that "leaked" demonstration made me worry for a bit.

Looks awesome...
I didn't love the story of Dawn of War II, as much as I loved the gameplay, but this looks amazing...

Oof, thanks for reminding me about what happened to Starcraft Ghost... TOO SOON, TOO SOON!
Officially hyped!
Although it is a shame it has to be the ultra-generic ultramarines...

Is this the same game that had footage leaked out some time last year?
looks like it's the same engine that's been used for coh and dawn of war 2
Relic? Really? I guess it's not that crazy in the grand scheme of things. Plus that'll mean the voice acting will have a high chance of awesome, which is very important for Space Maritime activities if Dow 1 taught me anything.
Looks perfecto to me, and I probably would have signed on even if it was that old ass footage from like a year ago.

I hope you can paint your character as any chapter you want, like in DOW
