Warhammer 40000: Space Marine confirmed for PC

Back in the 80’s when things weren’t all about video games therefore fantasy fans used to play tabletop games. One of the most famous tabletop games shaped the games that we know today. Dungeons and Dragons shaped the RPG genre while Warhammer series was inspiration to many fantasy real time strategies. If you don’t know Warhammer is middle age fantasy tabletop strategy game that was released in 1983. Besides Warhammer there’s also Warhammer 40,000, a tabletop strategy that takes its place in distant future. Both of those tabletop game achieved huge success and therefore it’s no wonder that we’ve seen many Warhammer games on all sorts of platforms. Although Warhammer games are usually real time strategies we’ve seen MMORPG versions as well. I’m sure that you remember Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, but this time it’s not MMORPG and it’s not Warhammer.

You might have heard that Relic Entertainment is working on a brand new Warhammer 40,000 game. Unlike previous games, this one isn’t going to be a real time strategy, instead Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine will be something more like a third person shooter. That’s right for the first time you’ll take the role of the single marine squad and lead it. According to the trailer game looks a bit like Gears of War because you’ll be leading the squad of four marines. According to the developers, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine will be third person action based RPG. Trailers look promising enough but the latest news show that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine will be available for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. PC version was announced recently and it’s a really good news for all the PC gamers out there.

Anyway, we’re expecting this game to hit all major platforms in early 2011.
