After successful, but not also very commendable adaptation of classic board game Blood Bowl on console and PC, French developer Cyanide and French publisher Focus Home Interactive proudly present that to us this year they will announce another such project. Namely, the famous team returns to the Warhammer 40,000 universe with a new turn-based tactical game, Space Hulk: Tactics. However, it is about their second attempt to this aforementioned board game bring closer to the wider gaming community.

After two years of break, players return to bloody battles in the so-called space hulk, the mass of ancient and lost spaceships, asteroids, and other spaceships, either superhuman elite soldiers called Terminator Space Marines or an aggressive side of Tyranid Genestealers. Accordingly with that, videogame will have two different campaigns - one gives you control over the Blood Angels team, and the other allows you to control Genestealers.

Finally, it should be emphasized that Space Hulk: Tactics will allow players to use their own teams' custom pre-match cards and various combat skills, and will also provide online experience with several multiplayer modes and an intuitive tool to create maps or levels that you will be able to show to others players.

Space Hulk: Tactics comes out this year on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Maybe at least one game in this wonderful universe will be a success?

Not entirely true.

The Warhammer 40k Dawn of War games were a big success, especially Dawn of War 2.

There was also Warhammer 40k Space Marine which also sold millions of copies and exceeded THQ's expectations on sales.

But yes aside from those two, most game developer failed to successfully translate Warhammer 40k into video game format.

Game looks great!  Hoping it's better than the other recent Space Hulk games!
