Games Workshop is on a licensing spree, giving permission to developers around the globe to create games based on its Warhammer 40K license. One upcoming title is an adaptation of the classic Space Hulk board game reimagined as a first-person, squad-based shooter.

You and friends (or AI companions) will board massive derelict ships modeled after spacecraft from throughout 40K lore. There, you'll encounter hostile aliens known as the Tyranid. They attack in packs and will swarm, so you'll need to stick together.

Deathwing reminds us of Left 4 Dead, though customization and location-based damage that changes your abilities in battle expand upon that premise. Space Hulk: Deathwing will be out later in 2016 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
