“Relic has a deep understanding of the license based on our previous projects with Games Workshop,” said Jonathan Dowdeswell, GM of Relic.It seems that Relic isn’t finished with the Warhammer 40,000 license, revealing a new console game for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Simply titled Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, the game as you have already guessed focuses on the iconic faction the name is based off. Offering epic battles in the 40K universe, the game will deliver action-roleplaying gameplay with players taking control of a mighty Space Marine.

 “Our goal is to ensure Space Marine delivers the most intimate and brutal Warhammer 40,000 experience to date.” Different from the scrapped Warhammer 40,000 game leaked last year from THQ Australia, Space Marine is being built from the ground up, looking like a hack and slash version of Dawn of War at the moment.
