Space Hulk Returns in 2013
Copenhagen, Denmark –
December 11th, in the year of our Lord 2012 –
Independent studio Full Control today announced that in
association with Games Workshop it will be bringing the
legendary Space Hulk IP to popular digital gaming platforms in
2013. 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. Based on the "Sin of Damnation"
campaign from the 3rd edition board game, Space Hulk includes a
robust 12 mission single-player and co-operative campaign.
Recreating the tense battles of the board game, multiplayer mode
will allow players to go head-to-head as one player controls the
Space Marines and their opponent the Genestealers, in the
ultimate fight for domination. Cross platform functionality in
multiplayer mode allows players to compete against friends
whether they play on PC, Mac or mobile. The Space Hulk level
editor will enable players to design their own levels, share
them with others online and in a central hub explore creations
of the community.
“Since playing the board game decades ago I have always wanted
to recreate this slice of Warhammer 40,000 as a computer game.
Now we can finally bring the board game to life in glorious 3D
full of scary Genestealers and mighty Terminators fighting for
human kind,” said Thomas Hentschel Lund, CEO of Full Control.
“As huge fans of the Space Hulk board game and the Warhammer
40,000 universe in general, we are delighted that Games Workshop
has given us the opportunity to work with this iconic license
and bring our version of Space Hulk into the hands of all fans
out there”.
‘Space Hulk is one of our timeless games that has both classic
gameplay and extraordinary imagery in the form of the Warhammer
40,000 universe,’ said Jon Gillard, the Head of Licensing for
Games Workshop. ‘Over its 23 year history, three physical
editions and three video games it has consistently reset the bar
for quality and edge-of-the-seat gaming and we have no doubt
that will continue to be the case with this version from Full
Control. Their passion for the game and their development skill,
combined with the power of the Warhammer 40,000 setting is going
to create something very special indeed. There are a lot of
people here at Games Workshop who are desperate to get this on
their iPads!’
Space Hulk is powered by Full Control’s battle proven formula
for 3D tactical turn based games.
