THQ and Relic Entertainment released their first dev diary video for their upcoming third-person shooter Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. The new video clocks in at almost four minutes and includes new details on the story, as well as what aspects of the Warhammer 40K universe they're trying to incorporate into the game... Which appears to be just about a LOT.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine takes place in the brutal, science fiction setting of Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 universe. In the 41st Millennium, humanity faces extinction at the hands of horrific aliens and demonic hordes. Only one force offers salvation, the superhuman Space Marines. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is an intense Action-RPG featuring epic battles where players take direct control of the ultimate defender of humanity, the mighty Space Marine. Space Marine is currently in development at THQ’s internal studio Relic Entertainment for the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 systems. In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is due to hit retailers August 2011 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
