    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.

    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.

    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.

    Only downside I see is that, yes, could have gone with a better chapter.  Space Wolves would be particularly awesome.  Out of personal preference, I'd love if it was an Ork game though.  Either way, looks awesome and I'm pumped.

    I'm glad this game is alive, after never really hearing much about it except for that video floating around this is damn fine news. Really glad Relic is on board with this game too, the trailer has me sold.

    I actually play 40k, like the actual tabletop game, and this game does look pretty good. But as a player of said tabletop game, i can say that I am sick and tired of Space Marines, like 75% of newcomers play them. I would love to see an Eldar or Dark Eldar game, a Chaos Demons game, or maybe even a Dark Angels game(i know it's still marines but they have alot more personality to them.

    I hope the gameplay isn't too generic-action-RPG, 40k is a pretty sweet IP to work with.

    I have always liked the Warhammer 40,000 universe, but I am not really that into RTS games so I have never been able to get into the Dawn Of war games.

    FPS games though, are pretty much my favourite genre, so barring some totally broken gameplay I will most likely be a big fan of this game.

    You'd rather have the 5 feet of plot armour Blood Ravens?

    Also, considering how shallow the leaked gameplay vid was, I shall reserve judgement.
    A shame. 40K is a brilliant franchise.

    While it IS ANOTHER Space Marine game.  (I'm a Tyranid player baby!)  They are GW's bread and butter army.  Besides if it HAS to be Space Marines why not the "Default" Ultramarines? :)

    Now my question is can we have co-op?  4 player Co-op would rock!  Especially we don't all have to be assault marines.  Give me a Heavy Bolter baby or an Assault Cannon armed Termie. Or better yet a dreadnaught.  :D

    I'm late to the party, i know but i just found out about that game. 
     
    You know, this could be what Too Human could not be. A top sci fi action rpg. If Relic uses what they've learned from Dawn of War 2 and put that to practice in an action-rpg game with loot and leveling. This could be huge.
